Sunshine on their shoulders… - Contributed
THE sun shone on 24 shoulders at the St. Arnaud Bowling Club last Sunday- yes it was a sun day – and it made the players glad to be out on the green.
Above: Good to see Simo (Graham Simpson) enjoying his bowls again. "What did you think of that great bowl, photographer???”
It was pleasing to see this Winter Bowls social bowls afternoon attracting more visitors each day. The 12 pairs played two games of 12 ends and only three teams won both games. The pair of Col Marchment and Marg McRae were announced the overall winners being 14 shots up, but a later check of the cards showed that Phil McRae and Chris Webb were the overall winners with 17 shots up. Hope Phil had some good luck in getting the winners cash back from Marg? Phil McRae, Hugh Craddock and Kevin Meade had trouble getting their big and little rings in the right place, each player sending down a wrong bias during the afternoon. They got a special mention for their efforts. The next Winter Bowls will be on Sunday July 30th, names in by 12.30 for a 1.30 start.

St. Arnaud R.S.L. Indoor Bowls Tuesday 4th July - Contributed With nine bowlers this week, we had three teams of two bowlers and one team of three bowlers playing. Being the first Tuesday of the month, we have afternoon tea at the end of bowling so three games of six ends are played. The final result for the day on 29 points was Kaye Smith (S) and Bill Deanshaw winning by only one point from Lyle Streeter (S), Win Battersby and Rex Salter. Out of the three games played, both teams won two games and lost one game each. Tuesday 11th July Back to playing eight ends this week, it was Dot Baldwin (S) and Aline Deanshaw who won all three games with a total of 46 points. The first game, Dot and Aline won by only one bowl and the other two games they won easy. The other three teams all won a game and lost two games each. If you are looking for something to do on a Tuesday afternoon, and would like to give Indoor Bowls a go, why not come and join us, at the R.S.L. Hall at 1.00pm

Below left: Last season this plover had a nest on the unused bowling green at the St. Arnaud Bowling Club, and it is back again this season. It has made a nest on the green and is sitting on 4 eggs, despite the presence of the large number of bowlers. It attracted keen interest at last Sundays' Winter Bowls.
St. Arnaud Ladies Golf results IT is now a busy time for the ladies at St. Arnaud Country Club golf with the Champion of Champions and Shield day played at Charlton on the 29th June and the association tournaments beginning. Glenda Bird from Wedderburn took out the Silver Division with a score of 82 and Janice Boyle from Charlton the Bronze division with a score of 90 in the Champion of Champions. St. Arnaud was represented by Sharyn Erwin Silver and Chris Batters Bronze. In the Shield comp. St. Arnaud finished 6th in the scratch and 5th in the handicap. Marilyn Knights played well to win the B Grade Scratch and had the second best nett score for the day. With only small numbers of ladies available to play it has become a challenge to provide players to support tournaments throughout the Association. There was no one available to play at the Birchip Tournament but three ladies were able to go to Boort last Thursday with Glenda O’Neil together with partner Di Johnson (Boort) in a countback for A Grade runners-up with 39 pts.
This week it is Wedderburn’s tournament. With the improved weather a few more ventured out to play a Stableford 9 hole event last Wednesday, with Glenda O’Neill the winner and Brenda Proctor runner-up on a countback from Lyn Freeman. Nearest the pin 18 was Brenda and 2nd shot on 13th Glenda.
