Our annual Christmas party, at the Port Melbourne bowling club, was a fabulous time for the nearly 60 members and friends attending. It was the biggest attended event in our club’s history!
There was a great deal of socialising, the venue making it very easy for everyone to mix around, in addition to a tasty BBQ lunch, raffles and lawn bowling.
Everyone got into the spirit of the event by wearing some christmassy (sic) items, from socks, to hats, to jewelery, vests, shirts etc etc. The star was our club elf, Spike (see picture).
The raffle was keenly anticipated and watched, with winners having to choose their prize based on a wrapped parcel, sometimes the packaging did not fully indicate the contents!
But after we had all eaten, socialised, won raffle prizes (and had a responsible amount of drinks), the lawn bowling started. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves showing where their bias lay (ed. clever eh?) although there were a lot of pretty competitive “one-on-ones” happening on the rink!. The take-up and evident enjoyment, suggests that lawn bowling may become another regular club event.
Congratulations to the organisers Spike, Colleen, Sue, Coral-lee, Bill (and the others that the ed. has forgotten).
