A New Season Rolls Out For North Mackay Ladies

North Mackay Ladies kicked off their season by honouring our past Presidents and life members with a festive afternoon tea, preceded by a game of bowls and followed by a cent sale.

Five other clubs joined in resulting in 62 participants. Winners of the bowling were Margo Stanley (Airlie Beach), Marie Bragg (Nth Mackay) and Brigette Skinner (St Helens).

Runners-up were all Nth Mackay players, Carmel Bell, Isla Comelli and Margaret Creese.

June Cousen, who is a life member, past President and umpire made the response on behalf of our guests. June commented on our new status as members of the North Mackay Bowls Club. June said of all the changes that have taken place over the past 73 years of our Club, this is the biggest. A new era has begun.
