We are finalising the arrangements for this tournament.  Unfortunately we are short of 6 bowlers to make up the full complement of 32, so we’ll have to rope in a few Port Alfred bowlers to help us out.  If anyone still wants to join us on this weekend, please contact me on cell 083 559 0460.  You are guaranteed to have lots of fun! Trusting we will bring back the Wee-Wee trophy!  Payment of R375 to be paid by Sunday, 27th please! 

The keys for the bowls sheds are kept 

[Drawing]ON A HOOK UNDER THE TAB COUNTER, NOT IN THE CUPBOARD, and NOT IN THE BAR.  Please ensure that the keys are returned to their rightful place after use.  We have expensive equipment in these sheds and members are to be mindful of this and be responsible when using the keys. 

A reminder that the bowls levies of R290 (Bowls SA & Border Bowls) are due by 30 November, and the subs of R650.00 are due by 30 December.  Please pay at the tab counter or by EFT.
