Last Saturday and Sunday a group of dedicated PBC Restricted players headed to Wollongong to do battle in the State Restricted and Novice Teams.
After 9 months, this closely fought competition concluded with Ian Hobbs and Roslyn Braund the joint winners (59.7%) ahead of Jane Cummings and Anne Moulston (58.5%) and Barbara and Liam Gavin (58.4%). Congratulations!
Although this was an individual competition, many players played as a pair throughout. The best 7 scores were counted.
Thankyou to Jen Ardill and Vicki Busteed for convening.
A successful Charity Day was held in the clubhouse on Wed 19th October.
We raised $3,120 to add to our Charity account which has $1,464 and will donate $4,500 (once the figures have been confirmed) to One Meal (Northern Beaches branch) who specialise in providing meals and other services directly to the needy and other humanitarian local support groups.
Thankyou to everyone who donated and helped and Rob Scott for organising.
