Another successful Tony’s Triples day

Last Tuesday the annual ‘Tony’s Triples’ competition was played. This is sponsored by Tony Allsop, is open to North Mackay Bowls Club members only, and is aimed at bringing members together for a fun day. This year 60 members took part; a good effort considering several members were away for Easter, and others had covid.

Prize money totalled over $600. Many thanks to Debbie Mackenzie who did an amazing job running the box and the draw, while Club President, Eric Galletly took over as MC.

Marshall Howland, Bev Woodward and Wayne Trannore took out top prize money, while Neil Blucher and Brenda Trannore won the most colourful outfits. All other prizes were drawn out of a champagne bucket. Members can now look forward to next year’s event.

Social bowls

Monday winners were Ryan Vigliante and Andrew Coates followed by Pat O’Neill and Jan Little. Lucky draws were won by Maurie Pearson and Margaret Goldston.

Wednesday Ladies’ winners were Lee Robertson, Sue Roscoe and Marie Bragg. In second place was the team of Lesley Baumgarten, Isla Comelli and Lorraine Lemke.

Thursday winners were Vern Mietzel and Pat Elgey followed by Ian McDonald and Bruce McCubben. Green vouchers were won by Lance Edwards and Wayne Trannore.

Friday pairs was won by Peter Horsburgh and Rob Evans. Lucky draws winners were Laura Howland, Alan Brown and Lois Deguara.

The Saturday game turned out to be a draw.
