KOWIE BOWLING CLUB
The Kowie Bowling Club had another full week of wonderful bowling. Other than being distracted now and again by the two pairs of crowned eagles circling above the dassie-infested kranz, it was eyes on the kitty, taking grass, and winning the end for your team.
Tuesday’s generously sponsored SPAR voucher tabs in competition was wellattended, and won by John Knepscheld and his able team of Mike Ryan and Ruth Walker.
Wednesday again saw a lovely crowd enjoying some fun in the sun with the novice group, with others honing their skills on adjacent rinks for the upcoming competitions.
