The Airlie Beach Bowls Club is currently awaiting the installation of a new roof, which has led to a decrease in participation from many of the members due to the extreme heat. As a result, the weekly schedule has been lighter than usual, and Wednesday night Business House bowls has been postponed until the students return to school.
On Tuesday morning, 10 players participated in bowls, with the team of Joan McGrath, skip, and Kath Remmeswaal, lead, emerging victorious over the team of Tony Whitehorn, skip, and Dawn Dowell, winning 20-14.
Wednesday afternoon’s Jackpot bowls saw 18 players take to the green. The team of Margo Stanley, skip, with Bruce Uhe, lead, and Arthur McManus, second, were the day’s big winners. However, the Jackpot prize was not claimed.
Saturday morning Scroungers saw first-time participants Arthur McManus, Margo Stanley, and John Askew all required to clear minus 5 points before scoring could begin. Arthur McManus claimed the A Grade win, while Tony Whitehorn took the B Grade title for the second week in a row, defeating Kath Remmeswaal, who has been impressively improving each week.
On Sunday afternoon, 10 bowlers participated in Social Bowls, with Alan Pershouse, lead, and John Trembath, skip, showing excellent form to become the day's biggest winners.
The club would also like to acknowledge the extraordinary contributions of Margo Stanley, who has been an integral part of the Airlie Beach Bowls Club since 2002. Originally from Melbourne, Margo’s extensive experience in the sport, as well as her achievements as a player, coach, and volunteer, make her irreplaceable. Notably, Margo has been the Ladies President multiple times and has won numerous club championships, including the Ladies Open Championship in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2017. She has also represented the club in Open, Pairs, Triples, and Fours competitions.
In addition to her competitive success, Margo has served as the club’s coach and has been instrumental in teaching new bowlers from local schools, including St Catherine’s, Proserpine State High School, Christian College Cannonvale, and Cannonvale State School. Her dedication and passion for the sport have been invaluable to the club and the community.
Margo’s contributions make her a true asset to the Airlie Beach Bowls Club, and she is proudly featured in this week’s photo.
