2025 AUSTRALIA DAY

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY

Umina Beach ladies hosted an Australia Day bowls, trivia and fun afternoon.    We had 55 players and several non-players who all enjoyed the day.    

The tables were decorated with Australia flags, and goodies of chips and chocolate frogs.

After a game of bowls which was single entries, out of the hat draw, to mix the players up it was inside for rounds of trivia hosted by Eddie Burgess.   In the middle of this we had a lucky door prize draw and the 10 lucky winners of the 100club were also drawn.   

A lovely afternoon enjoyed by all.
