Burnside Sixes
Another successfully run tournament is over. The winners have been found and Gavin Lea with his team
have collected the first prize cheque. He has been slowly moving up the field with three second placings
until he found the winning formulae this year.
Mort did an mazing job organising the field and a special
thanks goes to Mort for arranging the Burnside Bomber team. Even though they finished 22 out of 22 they
had three memorable victories over the weekend. The atmosphere was friendly but at the same time
competitive. Everyone voiced their satisfaction with a well run tournament.

firken men bowlers!
So if you'd be a member of 'dis' fabulous club you should be headin' dis way on
'Paddys' day.
Wishin' you a rainbow, for sunlight after showers, miles and miles of Irish smiles, for
golden happy hours
Shamrocks at your doorway, for luck and laughter too, and a host of friends dat never
ends, each day, your whole life through!

Melbourne Cup
Big winners on Melbourne Cup day @ Burnside were Ken and Rhonda Reid.

Ken held the bag from which the numbers were drawn (by Gordon) and
grizzled when he got horses 18,19 and 20 claiming the draw was 'rigged'.

He's not moaning now!!....and Rhonda sneaked a placing with her horse.
Well done Reids!!
