Christmas Cheer And Green Maintenance At The Proserpine Bowls Club

Wet weather halted last Wednesday’s bowls at Proserpine Bowls Club, but the rain hasn’t dampened spirits or stopped preparations for a busy festive season.

On Friday and Saturday, members Andrew, Dave, and Mike dedicated their time to dethatching, scarifying, and maintaining the green, ensuring it’s in top condition to make the most of the anticipated rainfall.

The club also played host to two lively Christmas parties over the weekend. On Saturday 7 December, the Council Sewerage and Water Department celebrated with barefoot bowls, and on Sunday, a personal trainer and her participants joined in the festive fun. A special thank-you goes to Bruce, Philip, Mike, and Heather for assisting with these events.

Sunday afternoon’s game saw Alen Sanderson, Philip Brown, Arthur Griffith, and Sandy Daffara secure an 18-14 victory over John Anderson, Henny Tattam, Bruce Uhe, and Mike Harrison, with an exciting four-point score on the final end.

Members are reminded that 2025 Affiliation Fees are now due. Pay $140 before December 30 or $160 after December 31. Contact Heather for updated payment details.
Social bowls will continue for another week or two, weather permitting. As the festive season approaches, the Proserpine Bowls Club wishes everyone safe travels and a joyful Christmas. Thank you to all members for their contributions throughout the year!
