The Spring Fling Mufti Day was a hive of activity on Tuesday at the Parkes Bowling Club.
A new queen bee Minor Club Singles Champion has been crowned. Lorraine Baker is no longer the bridesmaid after defeating Heather Harvey in a tough match in gusty conditions. Congrats Lorraine, and well done to Heather!
In more great news, our Grade 3 Pennants team has returned victorious from the regional play-offs in Mudgee. The girls played their wings off and will now buzz off to State play-offs next month in Bomaderry.
Good luck to Liz, Cherie, Jan and Brenda as you represent Parkes in the regional play-offs of pairs and triples in Forbes over the coming days.
In social bowls, number 2 hive entertained four ladies in a game of scroungers. Helen
Heraghty, emerging from an enforced bowls break, flew away with the spoils to win, leaving Kate Keogh a close runner-up and Di Howell and Merilyn Rodgers taking a wrong turn!
Lynn Ryan/Chris Cox/Rose Mitchell sprang into action in hive 3, amassing the most pollen, leaving little for Flo Riseborough/Valmai Westcott/Jan McPhee.
Birthday girl Flo certainly hasn’t lost her touch with the black bowls! In fact, the old black bowls were tracking Jack everywhere –like ants round the cake at a picnic! Valmai, Flo, Chris, Frances – you just keeprolling them down so well!
In the cabbage patch, number 5, Elaine Miller/Frances Charlton/Brenda Davies took the biggest bite of the offerings, leaving just the stems for Kay Craft/Chris Curteis/Maureen Baillie.
As play wound up, it was time to swarm inside to the picnic rug for delish pizzas.
Happy October birthdays to Flo, Rhona, Betsy, Chris and Brenda!
The Minor Pairs nominations are open for one more week.
