What do you do in Airlie Beach when it rains?
Wish for a hard cover, and these thoughts were echoed last weekend by all our members as there was no action on Saturday or Sunday and we were all left lamenting.
Tuesday, we had a few hardened bowlers keen to play and several great games were played with Jill Spencer and Ladda Purdie convincing winners of the day but it must also be stated that Dawn Dowel playing lead with Margo Stanley played superb bowls and time after time, end upon end effectively putting their opponents into submission with a phenomenal performance of accurate bowling.
Wednesday afternoon Jackpot Bowls had a small field but also had some effective and accurate bowling with Russell the Muscle Jackson teaming up with John Brown with an overwhelming victory, whilst Tony Whitehorn not only took home the prestigious Health Hub Award but also with Lu Rogan coming to terms with her stick, that would put a smile on Nick the stick Fernbach's face in heaven as it did, with Mark Mawson playing second.
We will have some fantastic announcements next week about the upcoming Schools program sponsored by PRD again and also Business House Bowls which is in full swing with new teams and a new concept.
