As spring arrives at our club, the demolition of the shade cloth, seats, and covers is making way for the installation of a new hard cover. Despite the changes, there was a great turnout for Tuesday afternoon’s Thelma Porter Day. The team of skipper Joan McGrath, with Susan at lead and Arthur McManus at second, played brilliantly and took home first prize. Special congratulations go to Betty Whitehorn for her amazing efforts and to Lane Telford, who shared some wonderful stories about her remarkable mother, Thelma.
Wednesday’s event had a smaller attendance, with Mervyn Stewart taking home the honours for the day. Meanwhile, Bobby and Yvonne Spees continued their success in Business House Bowls, with bar manager Fiona Greener also doing a fantastic job.
Friday morning saw the Endeavour Foundation members showing significant improvement in their bowling skills. It was wonderful to see how much progress Michael, Jett, Cathy, and John have made.
On Saturday morning, Andy McDougall won the Scroungers event once again. Even with a handicap of minus 10, Andy remains a strong contender.
Sunday featured the B Singles final, with Rick Brunell playing outstanding bowls. Rick will face Andy McDougall in the final, following Andy’s narrow victory over Stephen Lawrie.
Our club also hosted the Champion of Champions Novice Bowlers competition, where our own Dawn Dowell triumphed over Wendy from North Mackay, Kelly from West Tigers, and Sharon from Northern Beaches to become the 2024 Novice Ladies Champion of Champions.
