Aberdeen Bowling Club Has Another Successful Steak Braai

A fundraiser was held at the Aberdeen Bowling Club on Saturday night. It was well supported by the club members and potential newcomers to the game. A number of young prospective bowlers (under 25 years of age) who played bowls during the very hot Saturday afternoon, thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and discovered that it is not only a ‘senior citizens’ game, but a game for all age groups as skill, mental challenge, and a great deal of fitness is required to compete.
Due to the up coming public holidays, potential visitors to Aberdeen and new residents are cordially invited to the “Fun-day” which will be held on Wednesday 16th the first public holiday of December. Play will commence at 09h00 and at 13h00 a ‘Bring and Braai’ will be a welcome and enjoyable necessity to strengthen the inner man!
On New Year’s Day when we enter the monumental year of 2010 for South Africa, the Aberdeen Bowls Club will enjoy their annual ‘Getting to Know You’ which is a free and easy way of meeting people. The usual delicious cold lunch prepared by the ‘Karoo Ladies’ is available for a small fee. This might be a good time to get off the couch and exercise away the Christmas festivities.
Prospective players for all of the above events are requested to contact Tony Featherstone at 082 372 6180 or Piet Brewis at 082 955 9096.
