It was a day of fun, laughter and competition as the bowls club of Morningside Country Club hosted its Petticoat Day on 16 February. The one-day event saw the teams dress up in their villains and heroes costumes before taking to the greens.

All four greens were filled with laughter as the women competed in a series of games. Jacqueline Lauder, a member of the Morningside Country Club team, was excited to see all the women come out in their numbers to have fun. “Trust me, we will be at Wimbledon next year,” she said.
