Carterton Mayor Gary McPhee demonstrated his versatility when the Carterton Bowling and Croquet Club opened their 2008-09 season.
He rolled up the first bowl after patron Joan Butcher delivered the first kitty and then went onto the croquet green where he hit the first ball.
Members played both bowls and croquet after
the opening ceremony with the Mayor participating in several croquet games.
