The overcast conditions did not quash the good spirits at Winter Bowls on Wednesday 27 May 2026.
There was a buzz around the greens that Sharon Irwin was on fire and took a huge scalp in the first half.
Bobby Rutten was buzzing himself, with his spectacular new set of bowls in the Dutch national colours.
Silvio Marrollo was warm and fuzzy yet again, this time with Janine Skurray.
Best smilers of the day included Peter Welsh, Dave Paley, Neville Riddle, David McVicar, Steve van der Veen, Victoria Kavanagh, Di Fullerton, Ingrid Olsen and Jenny Johns.
Ralph Hounslow was his usual highly animated self at the head.
Deane Pye was admired for continuing to trial a steel arm.
Paul Teesdale and Tommy Morgan put their friendship aside and used the measuring tape relentlessly.
