Club Finals Day
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this year's Finals Day but I am reliably informed that it was a most enjoyable day for all of those who took part in or witnessed the event and the matches that took place.
Many thanks to Doug who ran the competitions and to all those who helped out, on the day, to make it a very successful event.

A reminder for last years winners. Please return your trophies to the Clubhouse ASAP so that they can be engraved with this years winner's names.
 
Aussie Pairs
The Aussie Pairs competition concluded on Friday night. It was a fun 4 weeks, filling 5 rinks, with willing subs contributing to the flow of the competition.
Malcolm Chater and Dave Woods won all 4 games as did Hilary Edge and Debbie Senior so, with both on 8 points it was down to the combined 4 week aggregate score. Shots scored minus shots against. Debbie and Hilary’s aggregate was 27 and Malcolm and Dave’s was 28 making them the winners. Congratulations!
Thank you to all the participants for contributing to the fun and to those who helped set up the rinks each week.
For those who missed Aussie Pairs this year please join us next August for the 4 week fun, 12 end game.
