There was no other social bowls during the week owing to the North Qld District Ladies Premier Cup Competition. What a great event where ladies from Noorla, Macknade, Ingham, Alligator Creek, South Townsville, Suburban, Jubilee, Thuringowa, Cutheringa, Ayr, Bowen and Wangaratta battled it out for four days for bragging rights to the Cup. Townsville’s Suburban Club were overall winners who now hosts the 2024 event. Noorla club from the Ingham district came in second. Thanks to all the members and supporters who made it a great carnival.
We are starting our Barefoot Bowls this Friday night 14 July for the winter. So, if you would like to have a game be at the club by 5.45pm or call ahead if you have a number of players. No experience necessary and we have plenty of bowls to use. Check out Wangaratta Bowl’s Facebook site or What’s on in Bowen. We would like to see you there.
