The Indoor Bowls adjunct held their official closing day on Friday 19 November with the playing of the Pat Mortenson Trophy event.  This year fours were played. 

Six teams contested this event over three games with one team winning all three of their games.  Ellen McSkimming, Jim Ritchie, Marilyn Steel and Kay Ritchie.  Second place with two wins was Ann Purcell, Cynthia Colville, Ngaire Wallace and Barbara Hoy.  All players on the day went home with a prize each.

​

The adjunct will complete all outstanding Championships and Trophy events during December.

The 2021 prizegiving and AGM were held on Sunday 21 November followed by our Christmas dinner which was combined with the Indoor Bowlers celebrating 50 years of Indoor Bowls at the Whangamata Club.  Several past members along with members of the Club Executive joined us for dinner. The earliest champions we had in attendance, Marg Hodgson and Peter Gorrie, (late 1990’s) .

The fishing adjunct has made the tough decision to cancel the ham tournament for this year.

​

The 11th December didn’t suit a few of the members and given the uncertainly of the new traffic light system and the challenges the Club faces with complying with the new rules, we felt it was necessary to start afresh in 2022.

Over the Christmas/New Year break, the committee will be getting together to do some planning.  We look forward to updating you with our calendar of events.

The golf adjunct played their own version of Golf's most famous team game - the Ryder Cup. Teams were divided into NZ and Overseas, however we were a few internationals short so we drafted some locals into the overseas team and renamed them the Barbarians. Places were sought after in this classic rematch and despite average weather we had an excellent turnout of 44. The Barbarians went on to beat the NZ team by two matches, the second tragic loss for a NZ team on Sunday. The winning team captain was presented with a very classy gold plated, jewel encrusted trophy to hold until next November.

We also had individual prizes and winners were:

The first day back saw only a handful with Keith Gribben and Brendon Ryan taking out the top spot.   By the second week, the word was around and a much better turn out with Gary Small in the lead just pipping Roger Wolfe.   This week, back to normal, with Wayne Broome in the top spot with Brian Ford next.
