Underbool Bowls News
What a tough day on Saturday for our Division 3 pennant side, up against Euston in the 1st semifinal, losing all 3 rinks and going down by 87 shots to 67.
Although it was a disappointing loss, we have had a great year of pennant bowls now having 2 Division teams play on Saturday, hopefully we can continue this next year.
Thanks to everyone who played throughout the season.
In social bowls we had 6 play triples with the winners for the day being, Alan Willsmore, Maggie Winslow & Noelene Crow.
Our triples team of Grassy, Mop & Simmo, travelled to Euston Sunday for their skin’s tournament playing 13 games of 3 ends, they won 5 skins, 4 draws, 4 losses & 2 wrong bias!!
Thursday arvo at 5.30 pm Murray Lockett will play Tim Gloster in the Men’s 100up.
Bowls training/social roll /beer and a chat will continue Thursday’s at around 5pm, all most welcome.
Outreach Library – Underbool February Chat and morning tea
An interesting chat at the library featured some historical identities on Tuesday 18th February. Books about Ned Kellie's mother, and Don Roberts (a teacher at Tutye in the mid 1950's) sparked some conversation which led to other discussion on family history research.
Next visit is Tuesday 4th March. You can browse the shelves or just come along and find out what is available through your library service which visits fortnightly from 11am – 1pm.

We need your help for the Underbool Swimming Pool Funding Submission.
As you may be aware, our community were unsuccessful in our previous submission for our new swimming pool facility. We are now applying for the next round of funding, and we need to seek approval from Mildura Council to submit an application and secure funding
Our current pool was built by our community many years ago (1970's) and it’s vital we keep advocating for funding to ensure our amazing pool stays in our community. It's definitely ready for some TLC!
Come for a chat at the Spiilt Milk on Friday 21st from 9am, receive a free coffee in exchange for your words of wisdom, support and thoughts on our plans for the new facility.
We understand that not everyone is available at any one time, so please use this link to the survey, here: Underbool Pool Community Feedback Survey Or the QR Code (also included in the attached poster):

Underbool Bowls Notes
Saturday Pennant had an early start at both Red Cliffs & Coomealla.
3rd Div. playing Red Cliff at Red Cliffs had mixed results with 2 rinks having a win and the other rink losing by a considerable margin to go down overall by 70 shots to 63.
4th Div travelled to Coomealla, had a tough game against the top side losing both rinks to go down 64 shots to 34.
This leaves 4th Div. just out of the final 4 by just over 3 percent.
3rd Div. will stay in 3rd position and will play Euston at home in 2 weeks
Midweek Pennant had their final game of the home and away season Underbool came away with a win against Irymple with a win on one rink and a close result on the other; final score 44/36.
Thank you to all the players who have made themselves available this season, the drivers who have got us to the games and the caterers and workers in the clubhouse.
A reminder of Nutrien Ag Night this Friday. Sounds like there is some BIG prize money up for grabs. As there is no Pennant this weekend let’s get over there and have a roll and talk about how we handled the hot week.
