Come barefoot and hungry and bring your best game
This year’s Plett Surf Barefoot Bowls event -the clubs most significant and festive annual fundraiser – takes place on Sunday-September 17.
And as anyone who has ever participated in these particular jollifications at Plett Bowling Club in Challenge Drive will agree, the occasion is invariably remembered for its excellent food and raucous fun on and off’ the greens, with prizes and awards galore.
Barefoot Bowls Day is the start of the massive fund-raising effort made yearly by Plett Surf Life Saving Club, the board of which raises cash throughout the season and the bulk of these finances being directed to its Nippers (think junior lifesavers) section.
During previous years, funds raised helped sponsor a branded tour bus that safely transported 58 kids to Durban for the Nipper Nationals 2016. and returning them home groaning under the weight of medals and lifelong memories.
Funds are also used in conjunction with Adopt a Swimmer and Born in Africa for an extremely successful Development Programme. which has seen kids’ lives changed for the better, forever.
The inaugural Barefoot Bowls event in 2015 was met with great enthusiasm by pro and novice bowlers alike. With a handicap scoring system and members of Plett Bowling Club on hand to give advice to beginners, no experience is needed to join in on the greens.
Teams of four participate, with a lunch break in-between morning and afternoon sessions. And with food and service by The Table, le Fburnil and The Fat Fish, quality is guaranteed.
The day Oilers an excellent opportunity for families and businesses both to join the action and tons of entertainment.
Playing space is limited, so enter at once with a team of colleagues or stall or friends and don’t be shy to dress up for the occasion. Your team entry fee also ensures wonderful mileage for your business. so call Shaamera on 083 304 5087 to book and see the advert on this page for more information.
