At Croquet on Tuesday there were 23 players, and 14 games; Francis had four jump shots, Sandra and Beryl one each. Francis and Di had three wins, Richard, Hans, Venette, Jan H, and Dick all had two. The Clarence River challenge continued on Wednesday, with a return match at Yamba Bowling Club, good fun on a challenging surface. Yamba were too good on their home ground, winning 47 hoops to our 24. Well done to Venette for a great hoop to hoop. Social games followed, some of us found we haven’t lost our touch on smooth as silk greens. Congratulations and thanks to Yamba for a good tussle. Despite overnight rain on Thursday night, grounds were fine for Friday; only eleven players were present with some long, testing, tactical games.
