Last week the Millicent Bowls Club welcomed Member for Mackillop, Mr Nick MacBride, to present a new state flag which was donated by the State Government.
The club was in need of a new flag and through the hard work of Secretary, Sarah Ross, it was made possible.
McBride presented the flag to Vice President, Andrea Radley, who thanked him and the State Government for the flag which will be used for many years to come.
Thirty-six players took to the greens of Millicent Bowling Club for a friendly game of 2-4-2 bowls, with the rain jackets only coming out a couple of times.
The team taking home the $36 prize pool each this week after playing 20 ends was Adriana Ross and Peter Varcoe.
The pair produced the good score of 34+18, while runners-up Sam Schofield and Dirk Pietersma compiled 33+14.
Other winning teams were, Malcolm Wright, Carl Schapel 32+22.
Eddie Hann, Andre Reinders 32+9.
Peter Dunnicliff, John Buhlmann 32+8.
John Eldridge, Brian Roper 32+6.
Lurlene Reinders, Sarah Ross 32+3.
Arthur O’Connell, John Drew 31+5 and Brian Goode, Derrick Lindh 31+2.
The club has a busy calendar with some important functions coming up.
A General Meeting is to be held Thursday, September 16 after the 2-4-2 game, followed by the Men’s Handicap Singles and the Scudds/Earl Shield against Mount Gambier RSL on the following weekend.
The Millicent Bowls Club is also on the lookout for anyone interested in fielding a team for the upcoming night bowls competition.
Every Wednesday night from 6pm to 8pm, over 100 people of all ages from 8 years to 100 hit the bowling greens under lights.
Food and drinks are available to purchase and the only requirement is footwear with sneakers or flat soled shoes preferred, while bowls are provided.
The Bowling Club situated on North Terrace just behind Millicent’s Playground and Skateboard Park has three synthetic greens and can accommodate 156 players at any one time.
The first of two practice nights will be held on October 27 before the new season starts.
