North Mackay Ladies ended their season with a newly elected President, Lidia McCarthy. Maureen Blucher was elected as Vice President.

The club celebrated the end of play in 2022 with a Christmas lunch and fun games of bowls with 55 ladies attending.

Raffle ham winners were: 1st Prize Carmel O’Loughlin; 2nd Prize Isla Comelli and 3rd prize Val de Pinto. The doll (dressed and donated by Margaret Armitage) was won by Karla Wallman, daughter-in-law of Daphne Wallman. As usual a collection was taken up for a children’s charity and this year the club donated $300 to Riding for the Disabled.

North Mackay Ladies return for more fun on the green on Wednesday 18th January, 2023 when it will honour its past Presidents and life members.
