Tuesday 1st August, Social Bowls, Five rinks of social bowlers today, three of Triples and two of Pairs.Quite a cold start to the morning but a big improvement as the day wore on. This Tuesday saw the return of Anna Bunn’s Trading table. Gee she does a great job. The women had a lovely time fossicking among the goodies until it was time to go out onto the Green and thanks in the main to Anna the Club raised over $300.00 for the Westpac Helicopter Appeal.  Then before play commenced it was President Janet’s turn to take the floor where she presented newly elected Selector Chairperson Gail Cupples and Vice President Joan Gebetsberger with their badges of office. Congratulations ladies.

The Resting toucher went to May Ford and the competition prizes to Betty Essex & Ella Whitford.
After lunch it was President Janet’s pleasure on behalf of all members; to present retiring SGWBC Secretary Ella Whitford with a gift; in appreciation of the many years she served the Club in that position. Ella was a great Secretary. The ladies could always depend on her to remember teams from year to year ( little blue book haha ), to make sure nominations, registrations etc were always sent off in plenty of time and for the many other things she did that were over and above the duties of the office..
. She was always available for information and advice, whether at home or at the Club and I for one thank her for the times she helped me out and the pleasure I gained from the many games we played together. Thanks heaps Ella, we’re all looking forward to your return to the Green.
The AGM took place immediately after and Janet Kowal was elected unopposed for a further term as SGWBC President. Congratulations Jan. A General meeting followed on completion of the AGM.
We were saddened to hear of the loss of Dennis Newton, husband of member Noni Newton. You’re in our thoughts Noni. Also all best wishes to Candy Nixon’s husband Les and Janet Kowal’s husband Bernie, both of whom are to undergo surgery shortly.
Thursday 20th July Social Bowls morning:  Today saw the final of the 2017 SGWBC Triples championships and what a top game it was too. Played alongside the Final were three social games comprised of two Triples matches and one of Pairs. A super day for a final with the Green running like magic ( thanks Warren ) and the weather perfect, not too warm but little wind to make it too cold. Combined social and championship results were as follows:
2017 SGWBC Championship Triples:
Rink (3) M Sales, P Lollback & M Andrew  d  S Mandelc, S Austen & C Kane  16-15  
       and in this case the score was indicative of the game. The win could easily have gone either way with the two leads battling for supremacy, the seconds equally good and the Skips right on their games. The last end saw Marg Andrew needing one to draw, two to win and though Colleen’s team were sitting on the shot; Margy came through with a brilliant bowl that literally took our breath away giving her two shots to take the match and the 2017 title. Great game ladies, congratulations to all on some top bowling.
Social bowls:
Rink (2). B Essex, B Ford & J Kowal  d  A Milligan, N Graham & E McKew  22-20
Rink (4) D Rankin, I Gough & G Ryan  d  E Casson, M Muliigan & A Bunn  23-11

Tuesday 27th June Social bowls:    It was lovely to see many of our ladies at home after so many away games this past month or so. With five rinks in use, two pairs matches and three games of Triples; the women enjoyed a relaxed morning of social bowling in cool but pleasant temperatures. What a pleasure it was to see May Ford back on the Green. Her arm still hooked up in a harness to protect her shoulder, still she completed the whole game earning herself a resting toucher into the bargain no less. What a great lady. With May Ford and Betty Essex on the Green we younger ones ( haha ) really have to look to our laurels.Several South Grafton WBC teams competed at the Blue Pacific Pairs
Monday 26th and while it was a really enjoyable day amidst good company;
just one of our Pairs teams were placed. Congratulations to Bobby
Robinson & Gwen Ryan. Good stuff girls. On a less happy note, Grafton District Services President Dawn Lawson called in to inform us that their Open Triples event would not be held Monday3rd July after all due to insufficient numbers. Such a shame. Make a note in your diaries ladies and be sure to make their upcoming Jacaranda tournament a really good one.

Tuesday 13th June, SGWBC Versatility Fives Tournament. What a surprise to get a call at 7.15am from Greenkeeper Warren stating he and Wayne agreed both Greens, ours and South Ex Services were up for the event. I doubt even one of us imagined Monday evening that there was any chance at all of play following the previous week’s rainfall and we were all pretty resigned to a day of Hoi and other inside delights.
     Things were pretty hectic for a while with some unfortunate teams still blocked off due to flood water; but on the whole most were able to make it and with no small amount of juggling from our clever Match chairperson, Pam Harvey, the teams were sorted. During the reading of the draw the women were highly amused to see President Pat Donaldson of Red Rock WBC step up to receive hers dressed in Life vest, snorkel and flippers. It was a lovely way to get started and President Janet soon had the chuckling ladies out on the Green for a Happy Snap then straight into the morning rounds. Teams included players from Red Rock Corindi, Maclean, Grafton District Services and of course South Grafton WBC’s . Never mind Yamba, Iluka & Wooli, next time the weather hopefully will be kinder.
  After a delicious lunch break, catered by Phyll Knox and her top social committee, it was back out for the afternoon’s rounds . Though both morning and afternoon saw quite heavy showers  the women took it all in good part. It was nice though to end the day back in the Clubhouse with a drink in hand, be it hot or cold.
Competition prizes were drawn and then the Tournament winners were announced. Our sponsors couldn’t be with us in person but we are very grateful for their continuing support. Without their generous help there wouldn’t be these larger events held. So thanks from all to Bendigo Community Bank, Holiday Coast Meats and TLE Electricals. Thanks also to Umpires Bernie  and Col, and to South Ex Services for the loan of their Green one more time. Much appreciated.
2017 Versatility Winning team.: South Grafton. Bobby Robinson. Noelle Graham. Shirley Austen Anna Bunn & Heather Nichols.
2nd Placing: Composite team :Sue Mandelc. Diane Fitzsimmons. Evelyn Triffitt. Meryl Buckley & Jen Axon
Third place. South Grafton. Ailsa Milligan. Jeanette Bultitude. Leanne Perrett. Gwen Ryan & Iris Heppell.
 Anytime we get together with our sister clubs it’s always a jolly good excuse to catch up on the goss’ with friends we haven’t seen for a while and all agreed rain or no rain it was well worth the effort.
Thursday 15th June. No results forwarded.
Good luck to all competing in the CRDWBA championship open & senior fours at Iluka Tuesday 20th June.
