The sportsmen’s prize went to Ken Thomas, Des McAllister and Ron Parsonage.
Andy Cloete entered his name against the lucky number on the pork raffle sheet and Graham Bransby did the same on the beef roast sheet. Albert van Niekerk and Tomcat Cavanagh shared the spoils from the first 60/40 board and the Greg and Marge McGuiness kept it in the family when they won both prizes on the second board.
Greg Dorrofield and Jorge Santos once again demonstrated their supremacy in the Grand Rapid Big Jim pairs when they again claimed the top prize. First session was won by Spider Williams and Rob Armstrong and Johan Nel and Johan ‘JJ’ Jonker won second session. Ruth Petzer and Dawn Spack were winners on the first 60/40 board and Honey Kitchenbrand made a clean sweep on the second board by scooping both prizes. Deon Els left the club with the raffled roast in tow.
The clouds cleared on Wednesday morning to allow for the playing of the Chicken Shack pairs competition. Winner’s this month were Chris Pozyn and Margaret Walters. Tom Cloete and Bob Hayward potted the second prize and Terry Micholson and Johan Nel did enough work on the green to take the second session prize. JJ Jonker and Brian Smith shared the booty from the 60/40 board and Geanne Mitchell happily packed the raffled roast away before she left the club.
Unfortunately the inclement weather on Thursday morning forced the closure of the greens and the subsequent cancellation of the Rawsons Properties breakfast trips. Thanks are extended to those bowlers who supported the kitchen to help cover the prepared breakfast.
