Both matches had excellent and exciting bowling and it was a pleasure to watch them. Thank you to the supporters who came to watch the matches.

The remaining matches in this event are: Gavin Wall & Gail Kerr to play Alice Aumann & Peter Ritchie and Neil Allsopp & Wilma Hill to play Don and Val Morelli in the semifinals. We will also let you know when these matches are to be played.
Thank you to all the spectators who came to watch these matches.
REMAINDER OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS
There are not enough entries for the remainder of the championship events and so we have decided to push back the start dates for these events. At this stage, there are only 2 entries for the Open Fours, 2 for the Open Triples and 4 for the Open 100Up.
Change of Dates: in order to give members more time to sign up for these events; because some sides should make Pennant Finals; and because there are still Pairs matches to be played; the final date for sign up for the remainder of the Club Championship events is THURSDAY 19 FEBRUARY.
Men’s and Women’s Singles Final
This was played on Sunday 11 January in blustery, trying conditions. The matches were both very close; seesawing matches with lots of good bowling. Inez won her match against Gail and Don won his match against John. Congratulations to all players for the great matches and making the finals, and to Inez and Don for their victories.
Thank you to the members who came to support the players and help make the day more enjoyable.
