On Saturday, August 10th, the club’s new bowls and croquet players participated in novice tournaments.

On the lower green, thirteen croquet players competed in groups of 4 on three rinks. First place went to Rochelle Eveleigh.

BOWLS

On the upper green, Eric, John, Beat, Mark, Geoff and Justin played a draw of three games each to 15 points.

Susan and Vera competed for best of three games.

The first place winners (Men – Geoff Poulton; Women – Susan Schiphorst) will go on compete in BSI Novice Tournaments in September.

Scoring for 2nd and 3rd in the Men’s competition was tight. See full 2024 Club Tournament Winners page here

Thank you Croquet Games TL Donna del Torre for organizing the croquet competition, Anita McCaw and Portia Priegert for setting up/scoring the men’s and women’s games, markers, Kathy Moi-Barker Social/KH leader and the kitchen hospitality crew.

Members who turned out to cheer the players on were impressed with their levels of skill and thrilled at the new vibrancy they bring to the club.
