Barefoot Bowls Bring Big Turnouts and Close Games

Wednesday night saw a roll-up of 30 players for barefoot bowls and the sausage sizzle—a great turnout. Thursday afternoon social bowls attracted 20 players on a sultry afternoon. Congratulations to Paul Vass on his 80th birthday on the 3rd.
Rink results:
   • Rink 4: Paul Vass and Wayne Newton def. Scotty and Alex Bojack.
   • Rink 5: Judy Elton, Nev Webb and Hugh Montgomery had a close game with Yogi Bunn, Cisco and Mick McClosky.
   • Rink 6: Betty Webb, Des Chapman and Bruce McCallum (pictured, today’s winners) edged Laura Webber, Ron Smith and Mick Olsen/Bob Young.
   • Rink 7: Margaret Chapman and Glen Bones Berryman accounted for Les Hoey and Gary Nosworthy.
Fittingly, the raffle’s seafood tray was won by Paul Vass, and Mick Olsen took home the bottle of wine.
Saturday afternoon was very hot, but 24 players turned up to play four games of triples.
   • Rink 3: Paul Vass, Margaret Chapman and Joe Linton won a close game over Scotty Taylor, Merryn Smith and Mick McClosky.
   • Rink 4: Laura Webber, Vince Beatea and Jeff Phillips defeated Joclyn DeFranciscus, Michael Young and Harold Rummeny.
   • Rink 5: Bob Young, Judy Elton and Wayne Newton just edged Jane Arthur, Katrina and Des Chapman.
   • Rink 6: Bernice, Yogi Bunn and Robb Dare won over Bob Pickard, Elaine Young—who almost single-handedly kept her team in the game—and Alex Bojack.
