Tuesday afternoon winners were Stumpy Adams, Lindy Suann, Shirley Jones and Cliff Querro, who defeated Kay Drury, Skin Querro, Deb Retchless and Margaret Wilson. The jackpot didn’t go off. Last week, Isobel Wheeler, a long-time member of the club, reached an important milestone—turning 90. Ladies President Margaret Wilson had the pleasure of presenting Isobel with her Matriarch badge in front of members and family.
On Sunday morning, our bowls sections held their respective AGMs. Graeme Read has been voted in as the new Men’s President and Deb Retchless as Ladies’ President. Congratulations to all the new executive committees. There are a lot of changes happening throughout Bowls Qld and the North Qld District, and I am sure they will lead the way well in 2026.
After a delicious high tea at lunch, members braved the heat and headed out onto the green. Winners for Sunday afternoon were Bron Tolcher, Deb Retchless and Alby Vigar, who defeated Lindy Suann, Gavin Charles and Pat Tracey. In the other games, Jocelyn De Franciscis, Shirley Jones and Stuart Jeal defeated Celly Jeal, Gordon Querro and Margaret Wilson; and Kay Drury, Gordon Querro and Laurie Land, in an extremely close game, defeated Stumpy Adams, Linda Scells and Greg Colquhoun. The jackpot did not go off.
