Last week we were awaiting the results of the North Queensland District Ladies Purple Pennant, contested between Wangaratta, Thuringowa, Home Hill/Brandon, Jubilee, Magnetic Island, Ingham, and Alligator Creek. The winning flag went to Magnetic Island, with our very own Wangaratta Ladies securing runners-up honours. Congratulations, ladies—what a fantastic achievement!
Monday’s self-selected triples and Tuesday’s social bowls continued as usual, although results were not available at the time of publication.
Sunday’s social bowls saw a full green, with the winners coming from Rink 2. Allan Gillies, Teresa Willshire and Jim Steele defeated Judy Christie, Trish Webb and Dave Madden. Runners-up were Margaret Harvey, Karon M., Greg McSwain and Chris Healey, who defeated Carol Bellingham, Robin Craw, Simon Fitzgerald and June Walsh. The jackpot did not go off.
Several of our members took part in the Canefire Fours held in Ayr over the weekend. Congratulations to Wangaratta’s own Denise Wallace and Penny Warren, who teamed up with Shane Anderson and Mick Robinson from Cutheringa to claim the win.
Looking ahead, barefoot bowls and a sausage sizzle will kick off this Friday night. The club will open at 5:30pm, and everyone is welcome to join for a fun and relaxed evening.
