On Saturday 31st July and Sunday 1st August a ‘Skins’ bowling tournament was held at the Aberdeen Bowling Club. The two days were a great success and enjoyed in good weather by bowlers from Graaff-Reinet, Middleburg, Somerset East, Murraysburg and Milpark Club in Port Elizabeth.
The attendance of bowlers at this year’s tournament exceeded all other’s. Clive Berlyn, a Director of Caltex Eastern Cape Brand Marketers, initiated this sponsorship which is in its second year. Co-sponsor was Tienie Appel of Volks Delta Aberdeen who organized all the very festive banners, and presented the prizes. The catering was a group effort by the Aberdeen and Port Elizabeth lady members.

The Milpark team from Port Elizabeth won the highest ‘skins’ award of R850.00.
In a small Karoo town like Aberdeen, it was very evident that this two day event was successful due to the group effort of all the club members and the involvement of their wives, husbands and friends.
