Airlie Beach Bowls Club had a fantastic week of bowls, welcoming new players and last Wednesday Merve Stewart’s Jackpot Bowls was hotly contested with one team standing out from the rest - Col Morris skippered, Karen Jensen at lead and Paul Foster.
Sunday afternoon was also a great gathering with 33 talented bowlers all competing for the cash, thanks must go to Henny Tattam who arranged the draw so there could be no arguments.
Ladda Purdie as skipper with John Brown and Betty Whitehorn had a great win.
Duncan Smith has retired from running Scroungers and John Askew will be taking over the reins and it will recommence on Saturday the 29th January at 9.30 am - please have $15 in before 9am sharp and everyone is welcome.
The school competition is being finalised by Margo Stanley in the next few weeks.
All members must have their monies in by 31st January to avoid reapplying to Bowls Queensland, so please get into the clubhouse this week.
Finally, Business House Bowls will commence Wednesday evening, 2nd February, so any businesses wishing to have some socialising with their staff are invited to get 4 people together - it’s great fun kicking off at 6.30pm, monies in by 6.15pm at only $10 per person, with cheap drinks and meals available.
