Twenty-two players fronted on a very overcast afternoon, with humidity at a stifling high. Three games of triples and one game of pairs were played. Rain delayed the start as a heavy shower passed over, but the drainage at Rummeny Green coped admirably.
On Rink 3, Norm Bethell, Les Hoey and Joe Linton enjoyed a runaway win, aided by an extraordinary amount of luck, over Bob Pickard, Judy Elton and Steve Doig. Meanwhile, on Rink 4, Betty Webb, Nev Webb and Michael Young, today’s winners (pictured), accounted for Paul Vass, Ron Smith and Phil Marsden. Margaret Chapman, Trevor Elton and Tony Eadie snatched victory on the last end against Yogi Bunn, Cisco and Mick McClosky on Rink 5, while Tony Caruso and Jeff Taylor outlasted Maureen Marsden and Bruce McCallum in the pairs on Rink 6.
The Chicken Raffle was won by Trevor Elton, while Yogi Bunn added another bottle of wine to his growing collection. A breakdown in communication last week meant the previous report was lost somewhere in the cloud.
Off the greens, a darts club has commenced on Wednesday evenings from approximately 6 pm, and a Friday night pool competition has also started, currently limited to 24 players. Both are run by new member Scott Taylor, who can be contacted for further details.
The Home Hill Sports and Recreation Club held its AGM on Saturday, 10 January 2026. Trevor Elton was elected president, with Wayne Newton as vice president. Margaret Linton will serve as secretary, Lynn Elton as treasurer, Mick Olsen as games officer, Bob Pickard as promotions officer, Judy Elton as providor/kitchen officer, and Alex Bojack as greens officer. Jenny Manganaico continues for another year as auditor. Congratulations to all the new committee members.
Members attending Monday Fitness, Tuesday Trimmers, Wednesday Kraft Group, and Friday BINGO are encouraged to contact their organiser to confirm program start dates. Bowlers can continue with Wednesday night Barefoot Bowls, Thursday afternoon social bowls at 2 pm, and Saturday afternoon bowls also at 2 pm.
Players are reminded to stay hydrated during the hot and steamy afternoons.
