A general reminder this week for players who are interested in the restricted triples to place your team on the list supplied on the board in the club.
With a point system in place, your team must obtain 19 points or better to qualify with players who have played No:4 Pennants (4 Points), No:6 Pennants (six points) and Social Players (ten points).
Thanks to Tim for the hard thinking to come up with such a great way to select teams. Please all get involved as this will be fun, it is set down to commence from the start of September.
This wraps up another busy week at the Majellan Bowling Club, so be kind to each other, see you on the green (Brown), and Stay Frosty.
