The year is winding down, but it’s been a busy and rewarding time for members of the local bowls club.
Tuesday’s social bowls winners were Lindy Suann, Sue Shearing, and Robyn Stitt, who defeated Gavin Charles and Margaret Wilson in a well-fought match. While the jackpot didn’t go off, players will have one final chance to claim the prize on Tuesday, December 10. If unclaimed, the tidy sum will carry over to next year.
Behind the scenes, members have been hard at work harvesting and freezing mangoes to delight winter visitors, a longstanding tradition that’s always well-received.
Sunday saw the club’s Annual General Meeting, where the board for 2025 was confirmed. Congratulations to Geoff Danvers (Chair), Laurie Land (Vice Chair), Nadine Land (Secretary), and Robyn Stitt (Treasurer), along with committee members and delegates. The club extends its gratitude for their commitment and leadership.
The final Sunday social game of 2024 ended with an exciting finish. In a closely contested match decided by just one shot on the last bowl, the jackpot was fittingly claimed. Winners Jim Quod, Penny Warren, and Mark Drummond triumphed over Merle Elphinstone, Alby Vigar, and Allan Rolfe.
As the weather heats up, members and volunteers are taking a well-earned break for Christmas. Social bowls will resume on Sunday, January 12. Until then, the club sends warm season’s greetings to all members, supporters, and the wider community. Best wishes for a fantastic 2025 — see you back on the green!
