What\u2019s been happening, you ask? <\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s been raining – which is good weather for ducks, farmers and bowling greens but a real hazard for bowls games directors trying to satisfy club members.<\/p>\n

In fact, this week’s rain threw a bit of a spanner in the works for club championship matches at most clubs.<\/p>\n

Still I’m sure most people were glad to see the rain, all things considered.<\/p>\n

Peranga news:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A big weekend at Peranga last Saturday and Sunday with their Men\u2019s Fours Carnival.<\/p>\n

Sixteen teams from all over South East Queensland and players from 17 clubs took part over 5 rounds with 5 points for a win and 1 for each end won. <\/p>\n

The trophy for the overall winner was the John Wolski memorial provided by Audrey Wolski, and it was won by Alby Gibbs from Millmerran with 74 points. <\/p>\n

Runner up was the North Dalby team, skipped by Doug Flegler with 66 points. <\/p>\n

Third in the contest was the Yarraman side – George Wolski, Merv Fitch, Brian Dugdell and John Moore who racked up 63 and a half points.<\/p>\n

The run-down of round winners shows the popularity of this annual event: winners came from South Toowoomba (Mick Gills); Peranga (Arnold Collins), Drayton (Arthur Telford); Crows Nest (Trevor Gillies) and Pittsworth (Graham McDonald).<\/p>\n

Well done, Peranga – and thanks to Barry Reithmuller for his report. <\/p>\n
