This week the green has slowed and when the wind is in your face it is incredibly hard.
So how do you pick the wind when one minute it is coming from the northwest one end and by the time you get down the other end it changes and is blowing from the southeast.
This week we saw how changeable the wind was and how difficult it makes things.
Tuesday Mixed Bowls
On Tuesday 10 March there was one game of mixed pairs and one game of mixed triples.
The game was over 12 ends and the green was running at 16 seconds.
On rink 1 Pattie Webb and Daryle Craig V’s Narelle Mayoh and Jay Jay.

They were the winners on the night.
Thursday Night Bowls

Audrey and Jay Jay fought back and over the next 4 ends and they picked up 7 shots to tie the score 8 all on the 9th end.
The last 3 ends looked to be a battle with Pattie and Jenny scoring 1 shot on the 10th end.
Then on the last 2 ends Audrey Harris and Jay Jay took control by gaining 5 shots to end the game on the 12th end 13/9 on 7 ends.
