What a wonderful week of bowling at the Airlie Beach Bowls Club! To beat the heat, start times varied throughout the week. On Tuesday, bowls began at 9am, with Sue Dakin, Henny Tattam, and Carol Crosbie claiming victory with a close win of 16-15 over Gail Simms, Lyn Graham, and Tony Whitehorn.
Wednesday’s social bowls started at 2pm, with 18 players competing across three rinks. The winning team, with the highest margin, was Alan Pershouse, Stacey Hadlow, and Russell Jackson, who defeated Wayne Tippett, Vicki Spann, and Ted Cullen.
On Friday evening, members and friends gathered at the club, enjoying the new kitchen menu, which has sparked keen interest among all.
Unfortunately, Saturday's scroungers event was cancelled due to rain, leaving the green unplayable. Thanks to John Askew for inspecting and updating members on the green’s status.
Sunday's social bowls saw a dominant performance by Lu Rogan, Dawn Dowell, and Alan Pershouse, who defeated Mel, Greg, and Arthur 24-12. Tony Kelly and John Brown skipped close games, with John’s team narrowly defeating Tony’s team 19-18. The Mixed Triples Final for 2024 was also played, with Betty Whitehorn, Ladda Purdie, and Tony Whitehorn defeating Elaine Hadlow, Stacey Hadlow, and Warren Mills 24-16.
