Colin was well known to most bowlers and was a devoted member of our Club for many years.

He overcame many obstacles in order for him to continue bowling and stoically continued on with the sport that he loved in spite of those.

He represented our Club during the Pennant season and enjoyed the companionship and camaraderie of fellow players.

Bowlers are invited to attend Colin’s funeral next Friday 25 October at 2.00 pm at the Tea Gardens Catholic Church.

Our condolences to his wife Margaret and Col’s family.

exception.

The best performed local team, who filled third place, were; Karen McPhie and Danny Johnson.

Congratulations to all the participants who assured a top event.

The Club is indebted to the Palm Lake Resort for sponsored the day.

The following weekend, 8/9 November will be the next mixed bowls competition.

The Selectors have announced that they will be calling for nominations for the 2020 Pennant Season.

It is hoped that the Club will, at least, field three teams to represent our Club.
