22.01.2022 Wellstead sheep and crop farmer Shane Davy is over the moon at the rain he’s getting. He’s had 37mm in the last 24 hours - the first decent amount he’s had since 2017!

20.01.2022 Not as many bowlers at the Club today - some have gone to warmer places and some just looked out the window and thought it too chilly/damp to play bowls. However, twenty six turned up and the winning combination was Harvey Waddell, Bill Collins, Hugh Smith and Bob Jefferis with 2 +38. Runner-up prize was not awarded.... President Mike Pooley has returned from his holiday and the Club welcomed him back this evening.

No results from the men, sorry.

10.01.2022 Today my husband and I with our two guide dogs had another near miss with an electric car. We were crossing a side road and it came in off the main road and pas...sed very close in front of us. If it’d been a petrol or diesel engine, or if it’d had a sound emitter fitted, we’d have heard it, but, apart from the sound of the tyres on the road, it was virtually silent. I am a confident guide dog handler but I can honestly say that silent electric vehicles scare me. I fear that it will take serious injury to a blind person, or even worse, death, before any meaningful legislation is put into place. If it happens to me or someone that I care about, I’ll be in court and I won’t rest until we have justice. So please, if you drive an electric vehicle, switch on your sound emitter. After all, you wouldn’t drive at night without your lights on, it’s the same thing. Many people will like this post but please don’t. I ask anyone who would have hit the like button to please hit the share button instead and pass this far and wide. I fear for our lives and those of these two amazing dogs.

10.01.2022 Please read/watch the video as it has some important information for our Club.

09.01.2022 There weren't any social bowls this afternoon due to the heavy rainfall. However, Club members attended in the late afternoon to see if the Jackpot would be won.

The T.A.B. sponsored voucher was won by Bob Edwards and the Jackpot was won by Trevor Holdman. On Thursday 16th July Albany Fire Brigade had a social day at the Club playing bowls and enjo...ying some beverages which were ably served by Astra and Will. Great to see Astra back and in good health. Welcome home to Bill Collins after his sojourn to Perth. We trust that you make a full recovery, Bill. Best wishes to Kevin Williams who is traveling to Perth to have knee replacement surgery on 21st July. Men's Tri-Series is on again this coming Sunday 19th July and Ladies' Jill Club will go ahead, weather permitting. Happy travels to Heather, Ian and Sam Jury who are heading north tomorrow.

Ladies' President, Heather Jury, welcomed all who attended and wished them "all the best" for the forthcoming season. A short meeting was held, prior to play, to decide whether we should transition to green slacks/shorts/skorts/skirts and the majority decision was in favour.... Several ladies were unable to attend on Sunday 13th at the Club 2019/20 wind-up and presentation night and Heather presented them with their winnings for various events. To get the bowl rolling (pardon the pun), the ladies had a "spider" which was won by Mara Wheeler with Julie Bunker a close second. Lynne Danks was given the honour of rolling the first bowl to open the Summer season. Fifteen ladies played and the winner was Glenys Hemley, Heather Jury came in 2nd and Bev Taylor 3rd.

01.01.2022 Jack & Jill Clubs, sponsored by Mal Greenhalgh and John Radys, had their wind-up and trophy presentations this morning. Attendance was a tad down on previous Sundays but that did not take away from the enjoyment of such a beautiful morning. As it was the final day, the players were separated into Queens and non-handicapped players.... Queens - Jill, Bev T. and Lynne on one rink and Elaine, Marilyn and Gladys on the other. Rink winners for the ladies were Gladys, Judy Collins, Bev Young and Lynne. It was a case of history repeating itself with Lynne and Gladys playing off, with Gladys becoming Queen again this year - well done Gladys you deserve the crown Judy Collins defeated Bev Young to take out the "uncrowned" title. Both of these ladies are relatively new and it was very encouraging to see them playing off. Prize winners for the Men (over all) King - Jeff Meyers Runner-up - Barry Holt Aggregate - Kim Thompson (another new bowler) Pot - Mike Pooley Also-rans - Merv Hulland Prize winners for the Ladies (over all) Queen - Gladys Richardson Runner-up - Lynne Danks Aggregate - Bev Taylor and Lynne Danks Gladys, on behalf of the ladies, thanked Mal and John for their sponsorship and also thanked the ladies for attending Jill Club over the winter months which added $918 to the club's coffers. Next Sunday 6th September there will be mixed scroungers for those who wish to attend. Monday 7th September @ 9.00 a.m. there will be a Busy Bee to smarten up the club prior to Opening Day. This will include cleaning windows, removing cobwebs, cleaning the seating and general tidying up of the premises. Members are asked to please come and help as it is your clubhouse.
