The Bowral Mens Bowling Club held the annual charity day competition on Saturday on the 15th December.  Proceeds from the day have been donated to the Cancer Council.  The Club hoped for a good turn out for such a worthy cause.  However, the response was disappointing with only 19 male bowlers attending.  The day was saved by all the Lady bowlers from the Ladies Club who joined in the event.  The day started at 10am with a spider (bowlers deliver one bowl from around the rink and nearest the centre wins) which was won by Joel Hunt.  Three rounds were then played for the Charity Trophy.  Three teams had three wins.  The runner up was the team of Keith Edwards, Anne Brenning and Bob Edwards while the winners were Joel Hunt, Peter Watson and Don Coleman.

The winners and runners up won bottles of wine with Joel Hunt also winning a bottle of whisky for his “spider win.

A new trophy was presented by Howard Lewis for the best new bowler.  New bowlers included bowlers who have started over the last three years and consideration was also given to their contribution to Club activities.  Clear winner with a win in the Club Championship Fours and being elected Vice Chairman of the Men’s Bowling Club was Carl Spilker.  Winner of the Henselite bowls bag which had been raffled to raise money was Bob Edwards. Also our thanks for our excellent BBQ cookers, for this event and many others, Billy Dodwell and Bob Kennett.
