It was Tracey and crew who provided the meal tonight - BBQ Sausages, Rissole and Onion, with bread and salad. Done to a turn by Tracey, Jan, Anthony, Jack, Leigh, Leonie and Julie. This was followed by Brownie and Ice Cream (and the cool breeze that wafted through. Many thanks to all for a meal that was appreciated by all.

Alan M ran a trial of a possible summertime competition - the "Sunset Big Boule Bash" - of three timed games, with doubles teams drawn from the bucket and games of 45 minutes, 40 minutes and 35 minutes. Thirty six players joined in the competition and other members chose to organise their own games.
Three players managed the perfect 39 points - Roberta, Gavan and Graham K. Well done to all of you.......and everyone was rewarded for their participation with a Magnum ice cream.
It was a very windy, cool evening and very hard to believe that in a few days we are expecting 40+ degrees. What is this weather doing? Maybe it is assisting create the Aurora Australis that Kerri and Ben saw at the top of Kensington Road last evening. Thanks, Kerri, for sharing your image.
Steve, Disey and Alan were busy in the kitchen roasting Beef and Pork to go in rolls with either horseradish or apple sauce, with a side of chips. Very tasty, thank you.
Steve is working on getting the 2026 Singles Challenge ready and hopes to have the first round ready for a start in February.

Another bumper crowd today, this time for the Saturday Competition. Everyone was playing from scratch as all handicaps were wiped at the end of the 2025 competition. The winner of the 2025 competition, David Crabtree, was presented with the trophy which now has his name on it.
Forty players in total today - compared with the 22 players in the January 2025 competition, with three of these joining in for the second game only. It must have been the weather!!
After the two timed doubles games, with teams drawn from the bucket, we didn't have anyone with the perfect score of 26, but there were three players with 25 - Binh, Yvonne and Gavin. The count back showed that Binh had conceded 18 points over the two games, Yvonne 19 points and Gavin only 13 points, so he went home with very heavy pockets (and a 1 point handicap).
Thanks to everyone for participating on such a wonderful day weatherwise and we hope to see you at the February Saturday Competition on 21 February.

We had a bumper crowd last evening, with more than 45 lining up for the meal of Baked Glazed Ham, Mushroom Salad, Rocket/Pear/Parmesan Salad, Carrot Salad and fresh cubed Watermelon, with some crusty roll available also. Just when we thought we had finished with Christmas ham!! The vegetarian option was home made Quiche. Many thanks to Tamara and Dan (Doc) for seeing to the clean up and washing the dishes. Much appreciated.
Next Wednesday Alan M will try out his idea for a Summer Evening Competition and there are many names on the registration list on the notice board. If you are intending to be part of this, please register so that you can be included. The rules are not set in place as yet and Alan has been receiving all sorts of ideas from members on how things could be done.
But before that happens, we have the 2026 Saturday Competition kicking off this coming Saturday, 17 January with registrations by 2.55 pm please for a 3.00 pm start. All the same as in previous years - two timed doubles games with teams drawn from the bucket. $2/player to play and the winner takes home the prize kitty. No handicaps for this month as the handicap board has been wiped clean for the new year. This month's winner/s will be handicapped one point for the remainder of 2026, as will all subsequent winners.
An item of interest in the clubrooms was the new drinks fridge which was delivered during the week. Thanks to Yvonne for giving the deliverers access.
