Bowlers at Airlie Beach Bowls Club have been enjoying the longer and warmer days, starting with Tuesday when skipper Betty Nicole led her team to a big win.
Combining with Pam Collins at lead and Lyn Graham at second, as well as Rhonda Lloyd at third, the side ran away with the two-bowl fours. Pam Collins managed to add to her day’s prizes with a stunning win of the prestigious Health Hub award, too.
Wednesday afternoon social bowls ably run by Merve Stewart and Rick Galea saw Henny Tattam with club stalwart Tony Whitehorn combine to beat all comers. Merve Stewart claimed the prestigious Health Hub award.
Wednesday night saw the introduction of the club’s newest team in Business House Bowls: Flexihire. The new side showed they’ll soon be a force to reckon with.
New bowlers Glenn Frederiksen and Keith Dornoch put on a great display for Whitsunday Gold Coffee team, but it was the fabulous team of PRD - the biggest winners of the night.
The PRD team gave their prize money to the School Children’s fund for their prize giving night.
Saturday morning saw Round Three of Scroungers competition in full swing with first round winners Margo Stanley, Tony Whitehorn, Betty Whitehorn, Di Jackson, and Alan Pershouse.
The final was played between Margo and Tony, with Tony Whitehorn continuing his brilliant form with a runaway victory.
Nik Fernbach took out the winners cheque for Group B , in what was a great day for all participants.
Sunday morning and afternoon saw the club’s mixed pairs, triples and fours progressing with Manny Isgro’s team of Russell Jackson and John Fielding winners of the Two Bowl Mens triples for the year.
Peter Barratt’s team in the Mixed fours – which included Russell Jackson, John Fielding, and Henny Tattam - progressed to the semi-finals in a nail-biting victory.
Lu Rogan, Rhonda Lloyd, and John Trembath were the Sunday social bowl victors.
The club was deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Lade and Shirley Muller, both of whom will never be forgotten. Shirley was a foundation member of Airlie Beach Bowls club.
