On Wednesday 21st October a drawn Australian Pairs event took place. Twelve teams were drawn from the list of entries. Each team played two games of twelve ends against drawn opposition. The results were based on the amount of shots scored over the two games. After the completion of the games the winners, with a shot total of thirty six were Cindy Bedford and Neil Crawford. The Club Chairman announced the event winners following a lovely buffet. Another great day at our club.

MATADORS
A good final week in October for the Matadors with a good win against San Miguel Boxers 8 – 4 on points and 99 – 89 on shots. A very competitive match played in a good attitude by all the players of both teams.
A different start to November for the Matadors 8 – 4 defeat to Emerald Isle Moonrakers. The high light of the match was a hot shot by the Matadors team of Sheila Roberts, Tanya Oliver skip Phil Goble this means they scored with all nine bowls on one end, so well done to them and all the so far this season.
TOREADORS

Very well done to everyone and a special mention to our top winning rink with forty two shots, Sue Bounds, Yvonne Yarrow skip Neil Crawford. A good day to be the Captain of the Toreadors.

Another lovely day enjoyed by all who attended.

Everyone enjoyed the mornings bowling which ended in a good result, once again a draw. After the game nearly everyone went to the Belfry for lunch and of course a few drinks.
About Monte Mar Bowls and Social Club
About us
Our Club is an integral part of a complex that includes a restaurant, taverna, summer swimming pool and a bowling green that is open all year round. Although we are one of the youngest bowling clubs in Spain the facilities and bowling green are still considered to be amongst the best in the country. The bowling green consists of six rinks that have been fitted to the very highest of standards. Our Club is affiliated to Levante Lawn Bowls (LLB) and therefore competes in all inter-club competitions. Monte Mar also hosts Open Bowling Events that attracts many of the best bowlers in Spain. We also host many internal bowling competitions which run throughout the year. If you have never bowled before come along and give it a try (you may surprise yourself).
New bowling and social members are always welcome.Not just a bowls club
We organise a multitude of regular social events such as meals out at local venues, a weekly Quiz Night and an occasional evening Dinner/Dance. The Club also arranges excursions to other parts of Spain and short holiday breaks which are great value and very popular with all of our members. You don´t have to be a bowler, you can join our Club as a Social Member and enjoy all the benefits of the Club´s social activities throughout the year.Rollup days
Our roll-up days are held every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 10:00 for 10:30. Sunday mornings are Club Days, 10:00 for 10:30, and can also be used for roll-ups unless the session is required for internal or other competitions. One or two rinks on a Sunday morning may also be reserved for coaching sessions. Roll-up days will give all bowlers, new and experienced, practice whilst competing and a chance to meet up with other Club members and friends.
