This will be my last edition of Bowls News for 2024. I would like to thank South Bowlo Members for your continued support throughout 2024. A special gratitude on behalf of our bowling members and myself goes out to Dennis Crough and Graham Crocker for their tireless efforts in maintaining the well-oiled machine that is South Bowlo Social Bowls. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by both members and visitors who feel very welcome when they play social bowls at our club. Thank you to the officials, volunteers, umpires and markers for your assistance throughout the year. Wishing a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
