After last week’s fantastic carnival action, it’s back to business as usual — though preparations are already underway for next year’s event. A big thank you to the hundreds who helped make it so memorable.
On Tuesday, 26 bowlers took part in three games of triples and two games of pairs. The dice decided the winner by the smallest margin, with Carol Crosbie leading Mel Fennell and Alan Pershouse to a thrilling 21–19 victory. Mel’s final bowl stopped inches before the ditch after sending the jack in, sealing the win.
Wednesday’s Social Bowls, organised by Mervyn Stewart, drew 20 players for two games each of triples and pairs. The standout performance came from Alan Leach (skip), Barry Wainwright (lead) and Phil O’Brien (second), who won by 12 shots. Gary Smith also returned from six months sailing the Mediterranean and teamed up with Arthur McManus and Duncan Smith for a 21–11 win.
Saturday’s Scroungers saw first-round wins to Greg Fennell, Kathryn Remmeswaal, and visitors Brett Williams and Michelle Moss from Coolum Bowls Club. Brett went on to take the A-grade final, while John Askew claimed B-grade honours. A warm welcome also to new member Tony Chatwin from Jubilee Pocket.
Sunday’s 26 bowlers saw Tom Allen, Greg Fennell and Robin Brown win 24–21 over Des Ballance, Mandy O’Brien and Gail Simms. Thanks to Fiona Greener for keeping everyone refreshed.
