Hamper handover brings happiness

AMBC

HUGE thank you to the all supporters who braved the windy and chilly conditions to watch the finals of the nominated mixed pairs club championship.

The bowlers greatly appreciated it. Congratulations to the winners John Chamier and Marian Kelly who won a tight match, 19-17, over Gina George and Fred Hutchins.

The mixed 2-4-2 competition sponsored by Marriots was won by Kevin and Sandy O’Donoghue on 4+21, with runners up (on a count out) on 4+17 John and Estelle Collier.

Second session winners on 2+20 were John and Delysia Mitchley. I wonder when last a husband and wife team cleaned up all prizes?

Well done to the bowlers and the teams they represented on winning the wonderful hampers during August Tournament week.

They are Willie Venter (New Ones), Peter Steele (AMBC member), Eus van der Merwe (Kempton Park), Charmaine van der Westhuizen (Mixed Bags), Ian Mackenzie (Sezela), Ena Brandsma (Richards Bay) and Joy Hanson (AMBC member).

Vouchers for those who contributed towards the content of the hampers were won by Rowan Bird and Anne and Tony Simpson.

The first women versus men challenge took place in rainy conditions.

The ladies were beautifully attired in various shades of pink and red while the men in blue looked very suave.

Thank you to all those who assisted them in making this such a successful and enjoyable event.

In the spirit of the game I have not mentioned who the winners were because in fact our club was the winner!

However, Kevin O’Donoghue looked rather proud when he collected a trophy.

Special mention must be made of the caterer, Mike Lillyman, chairman of the Pennington Conservancy, who prepared the delicious meal.

We appeal to all our members to join and support the Pennington Conservancy in its efforts.

SHORT AGAIN
