Sunshine and Great Bowls at Proserpine Bowlings Club

On Sunday, we kicked off our first game of bowls for the year. While the wet weather and the aftereffects of a heavy downpour delayed play, the green is in spectacular condition.

We had thirteen players and one spectator for our final session of Summertime hours bowls. In the first match, John Anderson, Mary Hedgelong, and Philip Brown defeated Alen Sanderson, Trevor Parsons, and Heather Brown with a score of 13-10. In the second match, Ken Watts, Bruce Uhe, Mike Harrison, and Kendall Watts triumphed over Ken Watts, Arthur Griffith, Sandy Daffara, and Gavin Noonan, finishing 22-10. It was lovely to see Lee King come down to watch the game. Lee will soon be back on the green, which is great news.

Nominations are now open for all club competitions. If you haven’t had a chance to visit the club during open hours to put your name down, you can easily nominate by emailing or texting Gavin Milne (Games Coordinator).

On Wednesday, Mary Hedgelong and Henny Tattam joined Heather at Mackay City for their PAH. Everyone had a great time and the next PAH will be held at Mackay Club on Friday, April 11th.

A big thank you to all who have dedicated significant time and effort into upgrading our green edges. Progress is looking great, and your hard work is deeply appreciated.

Starting Wednesday March 5th, social bowls will return to our regular hours. Please have your names in before 1:00 p.m. so we can start play by 1:30 p.m.
