Proserpine Bowls Club Resurfacing After The Rain

We were able to play social bowls on Sunday afternoon, and it was such a pleasure to have a game of bowls. The green was running beautifully, and for that, we thank the continued work of those who look after the green for us. We also appreciate those who banded together and did such amazing work during the series of working bees held to address some issues on the green, particularly with the drainage.

Arthur Griffith and Philip Brown made a comeback from a slow start to be level with Alen Sanderson and Mike Harrison at afternoon tea. From there on, it was a tightly contested game, with Arthur and Philip ultimately defeating Alen and Mike 19-18.

Barry Zillmann and Heather Brown also had a game that started off level pegging and continued all the way in their match against Bruce Uhe and Sandy Daffara, until the seventh end, when a 5 was scored, which changed the complexion of the game. Barry and Heather went on to defeat Bruce and Sandy 32-12.

In Bowen, Michael Kinnear, Luchie Gardel, Gavin Milne, and Barry Saroglia came third in the event held there this weekend. Congratulations to them for performing so well at this very strong carnival.

An order for new uniform shorts and shirts will be placed in the next week or so. If you need a new uniform, please contact Heather to let her know your size and whether you would like short-sleeved or long-sleeved shirts, or short or long pants.

We’re hoping for a continuation of some drier weather so we can rid ourselves of this tendency toward developing webbed feet!
