On Friday night just as the sea-breeze, or the Nelligen doctor, arrived the Community Bank Bare-foot Bowls competition was under way after a very hot day, in what turned out to be a very pleasant evening and a lot fun. There was some difficulties caused at the start when some those who played last week did not turn up but when a team was missing fortunately a new team arrived, and Phil Lewis and Peter Camiller soon sorted out a few new recruits to fill the gaps in some teams.

Out on the green each team was given a rink to play on and a team to play on a rotating weekly roster.
The beauty of the night is the wide range of the age of the players being from children aged about nine to one lady in her late seventies and it was great to see so many families playing together and it was pleasing to see all the kids running around the vacant green having a lot of fun.
Laurie Riley is doing a great job coaching the C.W.A. ladies & he had time to pass his wisdom onto some of the players on an adjoining rink as well as coaching their opposing team, a great effort Laurie.
The team to win the Community Bank $200-00 this week was the Landmark team, and when play finished as it got dark all the players adjourned to the Barbecue area where Barry Broadbent, Gordon Shorrock, Gorrie Kite & President Phil had the sausages, onions and bread ready for all to participate in.
With still two weeks to go of the bare-foot bowls carnival to go come and try your luck in an evening fun.
Remember Bowlers are not old they just live longer.
