West Cairns Tpi Memorial Bowls Club

After a night of heavy rain, it was very pleasing to have an afternoon of bowls that was not interrupted by the weather. Winners were Kay Hellmuth and Terry Ryan. As we have noticed a decline in the number of players now playing com- pared with those of late last year, we would welcome those players back this year if they are available. The game is open to any registered bowler who can join our group of predominately retired bowlers who have playing with us for many years. Our selector welcomes names from any player on phone number 0409 624 623 any time before 12.00 next Monday. A break for afternoon tea included in the green fee is provided before play concludes at 4.30pm. The game is played in a friendly manner with teams of three players being usually selected. The green is carpet covered and is protected from adverse weather by having a fixed roof in place. Hope to see you soon.
