BE KIND
When you have elected a committee, from those willing to stand. Don’t criticise all they do, but give a helping hand.
As we walk through the club house, and up and down the green, you wouldn’t believe the things we hear, and some of the things we’ve seen.
They have tried to do their best, for each and everyone. Don’t whinge with all the rest, come up and say well done.
We come for relaxation, the game of bowls to play, so let’s be kind and helpful, and have a happy day.

The greens were pretty fast believe me it was a difficult task just trying to keep them on the rink.
However the results were not what we needed with the pairs team of Rob Harvey & Roger Wall going down 26 to 14, the triples team of Bill Meharg, Alan Manning, & Dave Stace were unlucky dropping four shots on the second to last end, but picked up three on the last only to go down by two shots final score 24 -22 to the home side.
On a brighter note in the singles Trevor Messenger was successful in his game in what was a hard fought game close up until about the last five ends until Trevor used the greens to his advantage winning the game 25 -18.
The Mixed Bronze Division team played a double header in Dubbo on Sunday against West Dubbo in the morning & Dubbo Railway in the afternoon.
The singles Played by Scott Reid unluckily went down to a stronger opponent on the day final sore 25-12.
In the pairs played By Gary King & Leanne Erwin had a win 19-17.
Not so lucky were Carolyn Stemmel, Tracy Reid, & Dave Stace going down 40-7.
Hopes were higher on the way to Dubbo Railway however the home side had other thoughts Wellington’s sides remained the same but unfortunately all teams went down. Singles 25-17, Pairs 25-15, & the triples 23-11.
