Good morning everyone,
It would have been a beautiful morning to join together on the greens today for Sunday bowls but as you are aware , all bowls is cancelled because of lock down till 10th July . You may want to contact the pro shop if you feel like a roll up as I think that is still a possibility but check with pro shop first.
Because we missed last Tuesday with wet weather and now the lockdown, we have not officially announced the results of the final of the Club Triples played last Thursday 17th July,2021. I am pleased to announce on behalf of Match, that the winners for 2021 are Narelle O’Dwyer, Margaret Lind and Margaret McCreadie with a score of 25/13. The very worthy runners up are Bette Townsend, Fay Brunner and Rhonda Bosden. The score does not really indicate the closeness of the game as both team battled with some cross winds. Our Club certainly appreciates all the players for their efforts but in particular Fay and Bette for supporting the competitions. They continue to inspire us and prove that you are never too old to get out on the green.
This Tuesday 29/6/21, is Rhonda Bosden’s last day as a member of our Club and I am very sad that we will not be together to thank her for12 years of membership many of which she has spent on Selection , as Vice President and recently as Treasurer. We will miss her but know that her decision to leave us and head to Bateau Bay ( just over the road from her house ) is the right one for her at this time. We hope to see her back with us occasionally and we will head up to visit and hopefully play, with her at Bateau Bay.
Another long serving member who has finally had to pack away her bowls is Gaye Bryant. Gaye joined our Club in 1989 and has won many of our championships. Unfortunately, ill health has meant she will not renew her membership this year and on behalf of all of us I wish her all the best in the future.
Fingers crossed , we will bowl again on Tuesday 13/7/21. Spend this break making contact with pairs partners - entries close on 20/7/21.
Thank you everyone for your support of our Club. Hope to see you all soon.
Margaret
