Plimmerton Rotary goes Bowling

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

And the bowling ...
Bryan Waddle took over from President Bill as emcee for the evening and did a great job of entertaining the troops and generally causing mayhem. The bowling culminated in a competition, with everyone bowling their balls from one corner to the other across all the lawns. There were some interesting results! Booby prizes were awarded for the worst bowl (Marg), clearing the corner and landing in the ditch (John), worst performance of the night (Philip). Second prize went to Nigel Brown, and the winner was our newest member, Dallas, who managed to get within a metre of the corner with inveterate skill (although she claimed it was a complete fluke). Bryan is in the photo, not because he won a prize but because he made it such fun for everyone. And, as he said, he couldn't have done it without the background help which always comes from Les who was watching the dramas unfold from a strategic position on the side-line.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
