Wednesday Social Bowls
Thirty-six very bowlers turned out for social bowls and were all very keen to take to the green. With the Wilson Green very damp from a heavy watering, the Waratah was selected as the venue for this hit out. Given the number the thirty-six were organised into six triples matches. Under heavy sky, the bowlers took to the green and got things underway. However, about six or seven ends into proceedings a storm hit and brought matters to a close.
As you can see from this photo by Robin Staples, small hail quickly covered the green and made for an interesting, if frustrating scene. Given the conditions and the inclination of the majority of bowlers, the Match Committee abandoned the day’s bowls at that point. Because of this washout, all participants will not be required to pay green fees when they next turn out for a game of social bowls.
It looks as though Neville Tanner was holding shot in this end when play was abandoned!
