CLUBHOUSE

CLUB DINING SATURDAY NIGHT

What an absolute pleasure to see dining return to your Country Club last Saturday! It was a long, very hungry time.

We had 63 diners, and they had a great fun night, with reports coming in that the food was very good, and all accompanied by enjoyable music.

It was great to see sporting groups get a party together. Well done to tennis and croquet for the support.

CLUB COMMUNITY

WAPOL BOWLS CLUB - SOUTH WEST TOUR

Recently we were lucky enough to host the WA Police Bowling Club.

They were unable to attend the Australian Police Bowls National Championships so they decided to head down south.

A busy fun time was had by all, and the visitors needed arrest at the end! Although they did win on aggregate 120 - 126.

LOST MEDAL - update

The owner of the lost medal from last week has been found!

What a great community effort to get this back to its owner. From the original walkers who picked it up, to our members who took it in, to the resident research assistant, and then on to the wider Dunsborough community (facebook) and the RSL, word got around and we triumphed.

Thanks to all concerned.
