The recent run of Neutral Green Semi-Final matches, being played at Ringwood, has now come to an end. I am of the opinion that Ringwood have not played host to so many such matches in the past. It's a feather in our cap that bowlers want to come to Ringwood and play the game.

Without mentioning everybody by name, accolades go to Paul Wright and his team for preparing and presenting the green and surrounds. Brian Harrington and helpers for providing sustenance and also those members who volunteered to set up and take down rinks for our guests. Thank you ALL.
