2024 Presentation Day and 65th Birthday

 

                      

Cutting our 65th Birthday Cake  

L>R  Life Member Lesley Swales, Pres. Pat Neal, Life Member Sue Craske

Our 65th Birthday and Presentation Day was held on Tuesday 26th November 2024.  Members enjoyed a game of bowls (in very hot conditions) then came in at 12 noon for the proceedings to commence.

On this day members are asked to bring in toys to be given to needy families on the Peninsula.  This year Vinnies was asked to distribute the toys on our clubs behalf.   It was great to see the amount of toys brought in.                                                   Thank you ladies.   

    

We then proceeded to the presentation of our Championships Winners and Runners Up.

2024-25 MAJOR PAIRS

 

                    Winners   Lauren Ford    Aileen Robertson

The 2024-25 Major Pairs were completed on Sunday 27th October.     We only had 5 entries this year.   There were some weather delays but on the whole conditions were favorable for the players.

Semi-finals:

Barbara Schultz & Janet Ellery  def  Lee Van Lint & Cheryl Catchpool

Aileen Robertson & Lauren Ford  def Renette Burgess & Lynne Gordon in a very closely fought match.  

Final:

This was played on 27th October between Barbara & Jan  v  Aileen & Lauren.    

Aileen & Lauren forged ahead but Barbara & Jan gradually got going.  However, Aileen & Lauren proved too strong on the day to win.     Well done to all players.  We saw some great bowling.     Congratulations to Aileen & Lauren.

Thanks to all the spectators who supported the players throughout this event.
