Social Bowls

The McLeod/Munro Pink Charity Day held last Sunday was a huge success. Winners on the day were Alan McAskill, Ainslee Condon and Dean McAskill. Runners-up were Wayne Middleton, Frank Bartlett, and Phil Morrow, with Wanda Smith, Neil Riley, and Glenn Morrison in third place. Many thanks to all the players and sponsors who donated their time and money in support of the Western Cancer Centre.

Last Wednesday, Rick See and Dorian Abel proved their skills were above the rest of the field, winning comfortably from Anne Findlay, Gai Morrison, and Mary Ney. June Usher won the sizeable Lucky Draw money.

Aileen Beecroft, Steve Evans, and John Fardell used their vast experience and skills to win last Friday morning, beating Wayne Middleton, Frank Bartlett, and Graham Ross for the major end of the prize-money with Warren Pease winning the Lucky Draw cash.
