To dream the impossible dream, to run where the brave dare do not go, to live the unliveable moment, to reach the unreachable star .... is what happened at our little club this week because we received a million-dollar grant to build a hard cover for our bowls club, largely due to our vice chair lady Karen Jenson, Col Morris, our chairman Ask Warland and others, but the impossible dream came true.
How unbelievable is that, and everyone is singing, and watching the Man of Lamancha.
Congratulations to all concerned. It still hasn't sunk in to all our members.
There was no bowls on Wednesday because of the cyclone that did damage to our brothers and sisters north of Townsville but not to Mackay and the Whitsunday's, although the islands got a bit of a hiding, no real damage was felt. Airlie Beach had minimal wind, but we must always be prepared for the worst.
Bowls resumed on Sunday, and we had 20 bowlers all vying for the prize, however skipper Ted Cullen was having nothing to do with the other teams and with John Anderson at lead and Jill Spencer at second won on the day with an outstanding display of bowls whilst Jill Spencer capped off the day with the prestigious Health Hub Award so generously supplied by Hayley the manager of this fantastic shop.
This week will see the return of Business House Bowls now ably organised by Bobby Spees with his lovely wife and also Scroungers on Saturday morning will resume with Russell Jackson warming the seat whilst John Askew is gallivanting around the world.
Special mention must go to Fiona Greener who does an absolute outstanding job under enormous pressure and is such an extremely competent young lady.
Monday and Thursdays at 4 pm is for all school children, or adults to come for free lessons at no cost.
