Due to heavy rain and ongoing delays in the installation of the new hard-cover roof, there was no news from the club last week. However, we're eagerly awaiting its arrival and are currently in limbo.
This week, Tuesday morning’s Ladies Bowls saw four exciting pairs games. The standout performers were Tony Whitehorn and Sue Walker, who emerged as the dominant winners of the day.
On Wednesday afternoon, 18 bowlers participated in the Jackpot Bowls. The winning team, featuring skipper John Fielding, second John Brown, and lead David Meiklejohn, claimed the winners’ prize, though the jackpot was not won.
Saturday’s Scroungers event featured a thrilling first-round win for Margo Stanley and Cath Remmerswaal. In a close final, Margo narrowly triumphed by a single point over a gallant Cath, who is still in her first season of lawn bowls. The B Grade final was claimed by Tony Whitehorn.
Sunday’s social bowls saw Rick Galea in exceptional form, partnering with Arthur McManus to secure a commanding victory.
Special mention must go to Tony and Betty Whitehorn, who have become an integral part of the club. Originally from South Australia, they moved to Airlie Beach eight years ago. Their combined achievements include multiple championships in mixed and open events, with Betty winning the 2017 Ladies B Singles, 2018 Ladies A Grade, and 2019 Mixed Triples, among many others. Together, they inspire newcomers and contribute immensely to the club’s vibrant community.
The attached photo captures one of their many victorious moments at the club.
