Rain does not keep Nomads off the green
Not even a quick rain shower could stop the bowls from rolling during the Nomads bowling day on September 13.
The event was hosted by the Bungalows Bowling Club and bowlers from all over attended to support the day’s charity, Bread of Life Ministries.
The Lowveld Nomads gather a few times a year at various clubs in the region to raise awareness, collect goods for a number of local charities and have a good time on the green.
Though the bowlers weren’t impressed by the rain, it stopped soon enough and the day turned out to be lovely for bowls.
After round one, players participated in a spider, where R520 was raised and donated to Hosanna Church and Community Projects. Christie Cross and Peter Don won the prize for closest to the spider.
Lowveld Nomads president Malcolm Tyerman and his wife, Shirley, donated groceries worth R2 600 towards Bread of Life Ministries.
Pastor Johan van Rensburg gratefully received it and informed the bowlers about the non-profitable organisation situated just outside town on the R40.
A raffle took place and Sandy Wansbery was the winner, while the corner-to-corner was won by Malcolm Tyerman.
Prizes were handed out for the winners of the two sessions, as well as the overall winners.
