2023 Mixed Pairs Championship

 

The Final of the 2023 Mixed Pairs Championship was played this afternoon (30/7/2023), in sunny, but tricky conditions. It was much quicker playing towards the clubhouse, than it was away from it and the grass seemed to vary quite a bit.

Apart from that it was a great game to watch. Tania Valli & Jazza Bates had won their way to the final by winning two earlier games by one shot and another on an extra end, so this was going to be a great test for them against Steff Heard & Mark Hogden.

It was a great game to watch, with Tania & Jazza just coming out on top over Steff & Mark.

 

Winners Tania & Jazza

UBMBC/UBWBC Digger's Day 23/4/2023.

 

What a great day we had to commemorate our Digger's at our annual Digger's Day event on Sunday 23rd April 2023.

We had 77 members attend the event, which included a very nice service, conducted by Colin Mew. Terry Forbes provided the amplifier and music. followed by lovely ham & salad rolls, which were served by the Ladies club. After lunch we played the traditional Turnaround Fours bowls games, which was a lot of fun in the sun. After bowls we went back into the club and used our drink tickets, while enjoying the great company. We then held the door prize raffle, consisting of six nice bottles of wine and three box of chocs. Despite the random draw (drawn by me), the Ladies won most prizes!!

A special day like that doesn't happen on its own, so I would like to thank the following people:

•   - Colin Mew for conducting the service.
•   - Terry Forbes for providing the amplifier and music.
•   - Gale Hill, Ross McIntyre, Allan Hancock & Leo Lees for laying wreaths.
•   - The Ladies for ordering and serving the lovely ham & salad rolls.
•   - Steve Stead for writing and rewriting the cards (we had a few changes!).
•   - Tom Burgmann for arranging the popular drink tickets.
•   - The guys who helped me clear up after lunch.
•   - Club Umina for their help with the event.
