The general monthly meeting followed the annual meeting with President Dawn extending a welcome to new member Dale Scott whose nomination was received and accepted.

A nominations sheet for Major Singles is on the board, with names to be in by July 23.

President Dawn remembered all the July birthday members.

Prior to the annual meeting ten members participated in Patron’s Competition Day playing indoor bowls, as the weather wasn’t favourable for outside bowling.

Our thanks is extended to the Indoor Bowlers for allowing us to use their mats, to Garth O’Brien for rolling them out. The winners on the day were Julie Wood, A Taylor, D Anderson who defeated M Hunter, E Hocking and C Perceval.

The other game between J Beasley and P Brus against D Scott and H Bowman finished up as a draw.

During lunchtime which followed the game, President Dawn welcomed our two patrons and asked Nancy to present the trophies, which they had kindly donated, to the winners. Many thanks Nancy and Muffs for your donations.

Also thank you to the members for supplying the lunch.
