Underbool Bowls News

Underbool Bowls Club Members have cause for much celebration at the moment. First hearty congratulations to Marie Cummings who has taken out the Sunraysia Division Ladies Singles Championship in a close game with Daphne Loveday of Workers Bowling Club. A contingent of Underbool bowlers travelled to Mildura Bowls Club on Sunday morning 13th December to support Marie. Marie has been Ladies Singles Champion at Underbool 11 times and is the first Underbool lady to go through to win Sunraysia Division Ladies Singles Champion.

Later in the day back at the Underbool Bowls Club the Men’s Singles Championship was contested by the “two Cols”. Col Lockett and Colin Aikman. Top draw bowling by both players but it was Col Lockett who took out the match. Best wishes for good bowling to Col Lockett who now goes on to play in the Sunraysia Division Men’s Singles Championship on January 2ndat Workers Bowls Club.

Social bowls on Saturday 12thDecember, sixteen played. John Cummings and Ray Gloster won the day with a most variable score card of 56 points.

To wind up an enjoyable day we were entertained by a visiting wandering minstrel who played the bagpipes for us and then showed his magician hand with some legal tender.

Good to have John and Veronica Stone join us again on Sunday to watch the play and stay for a chat. President Robert and members wish John all the best with ongoing treatment.

Next Saturday 19th.December will be the Club Christmas Bowls Day with Trophies donated by Ouyen IGA. Bowls will be played in the afternoon followed by a festive meal. As there could be visitors from Ouyen Bowls Club, a larger salad please for the evening meal.

Good bowling all.

Underbool Press

The committee would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our typists (term 1) and the staff at the Underbool Post Office, Pink Lakes Pantry and Underbool Primary School for their help during 2020.

It has been a difficult year and due to Covid 19 restrictions we did not print the Press in term 2. An emailed edition continued to go out each week during the school term.  The school allowed us to resume printing in term 3, but asked that the same person print each week to limit the number of people coming into the school. Hopefully we can return to our roster system (which has worked so well in the past) at some stage in 2021.

The first edition of the Underbool Press for 2021 will come out on Wednesday the 27th January and the typist will be Helen Gloster (dhgloster@bigpond.com).

**This is the last Press for 2020. We would like to wish all of our readers a Merry Christmas and a safe and enjoyable festive season.
