    Mid week Pennant Players 2019-2020

    It is important at this time of the season that the Selection Committee are aware of your intentions to play Pennant next season 2019/20.

    Our club is required to submit the number of pennant teams for the coming season toward the end of June. If you wish to play Mid week Pennant please tick your name on the sheet at the back of the room in the section Selection Midweek. Any Division withdrawn after the GBR hand book is printed receives a hefty fine. YOUR CO OOPERATION would be appreciated.

    Marion Lyne - Ladies President


    Men's Section

    Saturday Pennant: List of Saturday Pennant Players names is now on the back Noticeboard and it would be appreciated if ALL players could tick this list to show their intention for next season. This will then help us determine number of teams we will need to enter for next season.

    5 a Side Wrap Up

     

    This week concludes another successful 5 A-Side Torunament held at the Highton Bowls Club. After 5 years, the event is as popular as ever, with players from 9 different clubs enjoying 4 weeks of bowling. With a combination of new and experienced bowlers playing in a variety of positions, the 80 players all enjoyed good bowling and fellowship. Elaine Coles and her team (Deb Butler, Lorriane Finlay and Anne Fox) wish to thank our Green keeper, Jamie, for the excellent presentation of the greens and Neil Harrison for his help in setting up each week. The event made $2524.00 for our club.
