Airlie Beach Bowls Club Hard Cover Update and results

This past week saw a quiet period for work on our club’s hard cover due to a mix-up with obtaining the necessary permit to access the old Fire Station land. However, that didn’t stop our members from enjoying some social activities.

Our ladies represented the club at Sarina, while other members competed at the Proserpine Bowls Club. Back home, Friday afternoon saw the bar open for members, with Bar Manager Fiona Greener and Terry Clarke ensuring everyone was well taken care of.

The afternoon brought together many familiar faces, including Arthur and Liz McManus, John and Robin Brown, Tony Kelly, Rick Burnell, Duncan Smith, John Matterson, Merve Stewart, and Kila El Amarna, who shared the amusing tale of escaping a baby crocodile to join us. Ted Cullen, John McGregor, Bob Fenney, Bobby McMahon, and David Meiklejohn also enjoyed the sociable gathering.

Work on the hard cover is set to resume next week, and we’ll keep you posted with updates. Be sure to check out the photo of Fiona Greener and Terry Clarke welcoming our Friday regulars!
