BY tradition, the weekend of the first tuesday in november has been the trigger for the onslaught of the first wave of activity in the caravan parks and holiday homes.<\/p>\n
At the torquay Bowls Club, it also signals the beginning of the summer season.<\/p>\n
This year is no different, with heaps of action around the club over the weekend and all are welcome.<\/p>\n
The extremely popular Friday night raffles and happy hour again get the ball rolling, followed on Sunday november 5, by the amazing aussie\/dC band (formerly dirty deeds). the last time they played at the club it was a sell-out and anyone looking to be part of the action should book at the bar now.<\/p>\n
On Cup Eve, the club and the Greens Bistro will be open for visitors and members to make the most of the weekend.<\/p>\n
On Cup day, the festivities reach a climax with the action beginning at 11am.<\/p>\n
On the agenda will be sweeps, fashions on the field for men, women and couples and a best hat or headpiece competition.<\/p>\n
Also looming on the horizon is the new Year\u2019s Eve extravaganza featuring Cool Change, a brilliant band specialising in covers of Little river Band hits. For the past two years this band has performed to a capacity crowd and this year looks set to follow suit. Bookings will be taken at the bar.<\/p>\n
Back on the greens the season is beginning to take shape, with our Saturday and MidWeek teams enjoying mixed success.<\/p>\n
After two rounds of Saturday competition, division 1 was third, division 2 was ninth, division 4 second, division 6 10th, division 8 fourth, division 9 fifth and division 11 on top of the table.<\/p>\n
After four MidWeek rounds, the division 1 team was third, division 2 was fifth, division 5 was sixth and division 6 was fifth.<\/p>\n
