TURA BEACH MENS BOWLS REPORT No 365 

Winter Carnival 2009.

After the first four events had been completed in this year’s Winter Carnival only a single team remained undefeated, demonstrating the diversity of results obtained when our local and visiting bowlers compete in a friendly sociable competition such as our club promotes.
