Twilighters take centre stage at the Torquay Bowls Club this Sunday as they launch their season with a warm-up day.

The event is aimed at reacquainting the players and getting the rust out before the season proper begins next Wednesday night, again under the generous sponsorship of Barry Plant Real Estate.

With teams rolling in at a regular rate, the Twilighters already have Wednesday night sessions booked out. This was the state of play last year as well, as many people began to realise that an evening of bowls can be a huge amount of fun.

At this stage, there are eight extra teams that will not physically fit on the greens on Wednesday, and the club is seeking an evening that would fit both the Twilighters and the other commitments of the bowling calendar.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, section secretary Leanne Salisbury needs to get an idea of how many teams this arrangement could entail, so if you are interested, please give her a call ASAP on 5261 5775.

On the regular bowls front, the club is bubbling along nicely in most divisions of the Midweek and Saturday pennant competitions with the influx of quite a number of quality players which have strengthened most divisions.

Special mentions are needed for the efforts of our three new teams. The sides in Divisions 11 and 12 are all working well and performing their roles in giving newer players an introduction to the sport and allowing some of our regulars who could not fit into teams last year an opportunity to wear the club colours.

A special mention has to be made here of the women who have played in their own Midweek competition and then volunteered to come out on Saturdays to make up the numbers.

On the social side, the Friday nights are booming and we also have our traditional visit to Cobden on November 6 to look forward to.
