Tea Gardens the RSL LifeCare Grange Trophy Day Sport by NOTA - October 28, 2015 TUESDAY 20th October: On a beautiful Day in Tea Gardens the RSL LifeCare Grange Trophy Day took place. Wilma Drake, Vicki Rankin and Rusty Sargeant with Julie Woolard, Manager of RSL LifeCare Grange. This Day is a little different to our normal Tuesday bowls. There were 36 bowlers taking part. They played two games of 10 ends, 2 bowl triples, changing rinks after the first game. This competition is an annual event sponsored by RSL LifeCare at the Grange. The Social Committee members catered for our lunch with a wonderful array of gourmet sandwiches, followed by an abundance of delicious slices, homemade, by some of club members. There were so many slices that the surplus was boxed and sold, with the proceeds going into our Oncology Day coffers. Julie Woolard, manager of the RSL LifeCare Grange, joined us for lunch and presented the winners and the runners up with their prizes. The winners for the day were Wilma Drake, Rusty Sargeant and Vicki Rankin, with 2 wins and 42 shots. Well played!! The runners up were Chris Fossey, Jill McBride and Lynne Green, with 2 wins and 33 shots. Close!
