Last Friday, 1st April 2022 we celebrated yet another successful bowls season at our End of Season Presentation Dinner at the Clubrooms. Close to sixty VIPS, sponsors, members, and their partners attended with apologies from last-minute sickies.
President Phil welcomed our guests, including Member for Mayo, Rebekha Sharkie MP, along with Narelle Hardingham, Deputy Major of Mt Barker District Council. Sponsors included Sue Cuz and Rachel Morgan from Phil Hoffmann Travel, David Zang from Terry White Chemplus, Hahndorf, Tori Evans from Toriadesigns, and Nikki Druwit from Beerenberg. Sponsor and club member Rick Babidge also attended.
The evening provided highlights with winners for the various championships receiving their prize/s as provided by our naming-rights sponsors. All Runners up received a voucher from Battery World, Totness.
Our rink who scored an eight during the season of Ken Waterson, Rhonda Munday, Pat Wakefield, and Micheal Wheal were presented with their “Eight” badges by President Phil.
There continued to be surprising presentations.
Rebekha Sharkie MP and Phil Hoffmann Travel provided spot prizes and were won by Tori Evans and Nikki from Beerenberg, respectively.
Vice President, Jeff, presented the Grand Final Rink of the Week recipients, Richard Crocker, Phil Nagel, Sue Hutchinson, and Geoff Deeble with their GE Hotel vouchers plus a voucher each from IGA Hahndorf.
Rink of the Year for both Division One and Two, based on who was most included over the total season, was then presented.

Rink of the Week for Second Division was: Val Deeble, Graham Savage, Bill Robertson, and Ray Rattray. Not only did they receive a GE Hotel voucher but another from Hahndorf Fruit and Veg.
