Sunday 5 November: Great hosts the River Rats at the South Lismore Bowling Club and thats always been the case as far as the Sandflies are concerned. Even though they beat us 124 to 104 on the day the mixing of the two social bowls clubs makes for good bowls and company. The only problem for the day was the predicted rain and storms on Sunday morning but that didn't happen till late Sunday afternoon and we were back home in the Ballina RSL Bowling Club which was a bonus.
Sorry that Amber Pitts whom I organise the day with took crook on Saturday arvo and couldn't make the game but she had plenty of backup which is good to see. Many thanks River Rats for the great company and BBQ after so we will have to gets some dates going for 2018. Next week at the Ballina RSL Bowling Club we have Blue's Navy Day and the Navy boys raise money for the TS Lismore and its getting bigger then Ben Hur. Always a top day and for an excellent well mannered bunch of kids plus the officers and parents. $20.00 gets you a BBQ break roll, sit down lunch, green fees and a set of bowls to use if you haven't got any. Heaps of raffles on the day plus that dreaded ' Nelsons Blood ' – a mixture of rum and port I think – anyone playing can have a nip or two of that if they wish.
So come to the Ballina RSL Bowling Club Sunday the 12th of November and help the kids of the TS Lismore the Navy Training Base, based in Ballina. Till next week take care fellas.
