The community is invited to diarise Saturday, 10 August, and attend a fun day at Wentworth Bowling Club to raise funds for Troy Garland and his Port Natal Bowls under 30 team who will travel to Gauteng in September to participate in the Bowls South Africa inter-district under 30 tournament. Plenty of fun that includes casual bowls, games for kids, photographs with Miss WBC and a pub quiz, is planned.
