Great bowls at Slabbert/Arndt sponsored day

The past weekend saw the annual Slabbert/Arndt Sponsored day being held at the club and what a turnout. 24 teams participated and some excellent bowls was played by all. A huge thank you to the Arndt and Slabbert families for their sponsorship and all in aid of cancer awareness.
It was the team of Des Johnson and Louis “Baksteen” de Jager who, after a very tense final game, emerged victors on the day. Trevor Douthwaite and Ernie from Newcastle collected second prize and co-sponsors Carl and Hannelie Arndt took the last place on the podium.
Congratulations to all prize winners. The club is glad that the Slabbert/Arndt Shield is staying in Dundee this year.
Final results: 1st Des and Louis 39 +30, 2nd Trevor and Ernie 35 +25 and 3rd Hannelie and Carl 32 +25.
Last Thursday saw the start of the Pool and Darts challenge. 12 teams entered and although a bit rusty a great evening was had by all. Three teams are tied at the top of the leader board after the first round. The Weasels, Wrong Bias and Short and Tall all on 4 points. This will certainly change as the next rounds are played. Thanks to Jacques for organising the food and the event. All are welcome to come down and enjoy the evening with us.
