With the first jack rolled and the first bowl bowled, the green was declared open for the 2022-23 season.

The day was a mild 16 degrees with a slight breeze and the green was running superbly.

Some good and bad bowls were rolled and after 10 ends of play the members returned to the clubhouse for a wonderful afternoon tea provided by Veronica Noonan and Annie Purcell.
