It was good to be back on the greens of Millicent Bowls Club after the Christmas New Year break from the Night Owls competition.
Play was supposed to recommence last week, but it was abandoned because of persistent rain.
It was great to greet our fellow night bowlers and enjoy some bowls, banter and chatter.
All players followed the COVID rules to the letter, wearing masks inside and distancing with two COVID Marshalls on duty.
