Fifty-six bowlers participated in the social day event with the Tatts Club from Melbourne, last Thursday.
They were a very happy social club and some highly skilled players. The format was a game before lunch and then one in the afternoon.
Tatts is merely a social club without a permanent ‘home of its own’.
There are 115 members from about 15 different clubs. They are a happy group and enjoyed the day.
The trophies went to Ross Bartlett, Alan Hurrey, Pam Loosemore and Gary Wedges, and to the Finley team comprising Don McKellar, Geoff Trevorrow, Alan Cowan and Norm Barnes.
An excellent meal was served by caterer Leanne Gray.
The Easter Bowls Carnival started on Good Friday with Open Pairs, when 14 teams competed for the J T& E N Close sponsorship.
The winning combination was from the Deniliquin RSL Bowling Club — Jenny and Tony Tonta, who were the only three game winners. Runner up was the father and son team, Gordon and Ashleigh Haines, with 2 games.
The Easter Carnival concluded on Sunday with Norelane players taking the prizes.
Manager of Tatts Club Ian Teghe and Norlane group manager Steve Lane were loud in their praise for the hospitality and the excellent facilities of the club.
Excellent bowling was enjoyed on each day with all bowlers happy.
Special thank you to greenkeeper Ashleigh Haines for the excellent presentation of fast greens for all players. President Laurie thanked all bowlers for respecting the sponsorship provided and particularly the visiting groups for their support over Easter.
