Underbool Bowls Notes. Bowls is up and running for the 2016/2017 Season. Already the men have commenced Saturday Pennant. Robert Gloster, Howard Crothers, Col Lockett and Bob Lester have visited Nangiloc for their Star Day and came in runners/up. Congratulations.
President Robert Gloster and Colleen attended the Opening of the Sunraysia Bowls Association at Workers, which was also Workers 80th Birthday celebration.
Robert and Colleen also visited Doreen Walker prior to her leaving the district and presented her with a gift on behalf of all at Underbool Bowls. Doreen has been a wonderful bowler competing and winning in many Singles, Pairs and Fours Club Championships. We all wish Doreen well as she moves to be nearer family.
Sadly for Underbool Lady Bowlers there is no Midweek Pennant this year due to lack of numbers for First Division.
Please note. Bowls Opening Evening will be Thursday 8th September at 5pm.
Short game of Bowls followed by a BBQ Tea. Pole/ Winslow Trophies. New bowlers most welcome, or just come over to watch and join us for the evening.
