Hi <<First Name>>,

Things have been hectic at Mowbray, and in the bowling world, over the last 4 weeks and the rest of November looks to be just as busy. Work on our A Green has started in earnest and the upgrading of the banks on the B Green starts this weekend.

We hope that you are all staying healthy and happy!

Remember that you can always speak to any of the Committee Members about any issue, suggestions, problems, offers to help, etc!

Good bowling.

The Mowbray Raffle


Our amazing Committee Members have got together and organised a raffle to assist with raising some funds. At only R25 a ticket and plenty of prizes, including a new Office Chair, everyone can enter.

Books of 10 tickets each are available now from Peter Todt or anyone on the Committee.

Please can EVERY member take at least one book to sell!

This is an important fund raising event at the end of a chaotic year - and selling tickets at R25 each should not be too difficult!

Thank you to everyone who has already sold books - and to all of you who are still going to.


 

The Jacks in Danger


We are in the fourth and final stage of the Mowbray Madness series and the Jacks in Danger competition is on the go!

We had a bit of rain last week, but this Thursday looks like being a amazing summer evening.

The teams have been put into 2 sections and are playing a round robin in their section.





 

No more accounts at the bar


To assist with cash flow, please pay your bill before leaving the club. 
  • If you do not pay your bar bill before leaving the club, the full amount, plus an administration fee of R25, will be charged to your club account.
Thanks for your assistance!
