pre-season. Good luck to all our bowlers in both Pennants and upcoming Championship events.
Charmain Harris and myself have been working closely together and have introduced joint meetings with the Chairs of all committees, both men and women. This is working well with good communication between everyone. Minutes of these meetings will be shared with members through the weekly enewsletter in future. Wishing all our members a safe and happy Christmas break.

Women's Captain's Report
The new Pennant season is now upon us, so I would like to wish all the men and women bowlers, a great and rewarding season (*Veni, vidi, vici) and “Go Sorrento Go”. To all our social bowlers, I wish you an enjoyable summer season and hope to see you all on the green. Wishing you all a safe holiday season, with lots of laughter and good tidings with family and friends. Have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New year.
– Charmain Harris

Match Committee Reports
Dash for Cash July 2022
A bleak weather forecast looked as though it might mean abandoning July’s event but the decision to go ahead was made on the preceding Thursday and organisers’ fingers were crossed. In the event, only a
14
couple of brief showers interrupted play and all four of the scheduled 10-end matches were played in cold and breezy conditions.
Dash for Cash was again generously sponsored by Safeway Security Screens and our thanks again go to Barry and Paul Bradshaw for their on-going support for these events. Thanks also to Wendy Saul and her band of soup makers and soup servers. The hot and hearty soups were certainly welcomed by the cold and hungry bowlers.
Of the 104 bowlers present, 48 were from other clubs, reflecting the wide (and growing) appeal of this event. Unfortunately for our Sorrento bowlers, the majority of the prize winners were visitors!
By the time the bowlers broke for lunch, only seven of the teams had won both matches, but by the end of the day the winners of all rounds had dwindled to three teams. These three took home the major part of the prize money. All the results: • 1st: Alan Bloxham, Marc Marinko, G. Jones, Ryan Moyle +44 • 2nd: Matt Sharrett, Gary Bayne, Barney Fleiser, Peter Flack +28 • 3rd: A. Monson, Geoff Watson, Mike Sweeney, Blake Nairn +22 • am: Phil Griffiths, B. Griffiths, Geoff White, Stewart Gosstray +25 • pm:David Eadie, Don McKenzie, David Bird, David Hitchman +14 • Rd1: Barry Stewart, Peter Snow, Shane Loftus, Rhett Butler +15 • Rd2: Phil Leyland, Wayne Mitchell, Andy Elmer, Brian Saul +13 • Rd3: Barry and Paul Bradshaw, Murray Hulbert, Bruce Eagles +7 • Rd4: P. Wilson, Trevor Hines, Laurie Johnson, Bert Straw +13
Thanks again to the Men’s Match Committee, especially Dan Greig, and to Trevor and Anne Orton for their assistance on the day.
