THE greens were full and the weather was beautiful for Cex Coffs Women’s Bowls Club 60th Beautizone Carnival.

Teams came from Sawtell, Woolgoolga, Nambucca, Park Beach, Urunga, Grafton, Stuarts Point, Macksville as well as visitors from clubs from Victoria, to enjoy this popular Carnival.

A little bit of research tells us that the name “Beautizone” came from an advertising campaign to try and promote tourism on the Coffs Coast with the Mid North Coast Tourist Authority being formed in 1956.

This resulted in the area being christened the “Pacific Beautizone”’.

This catchy title was chosen as the winner from over 1400 entries in a competition to name the area from the Clarence to the Nambucca.

The overall winners on the day were Janice Brown, Jan Smithers, Jan Townsend from Sawtell. Janice, Jan and Jan were also our winners in 2019.

Well done girls.

In second place was Jennifer Gibbins, Meryl Brookes and Val Valentine from Woolgoolga.

The third place winners were Sandra Seckold, Pat Fletcher and Elaine Fleming from Nambucca.

Fourth place went to Denise Hargraves, Robyn D Meio, Jan Slater and our fifth place winners were Ainsley Wroe, Trish Welsh and Judy Bishop all from Park Beach.

Our AM winners were Pam Watson, Ava Power and Rhonda Riley from Urunga and Lin Walker, Karen Blanch and Dee Gleeson from Stuarts Point.

Dot Heron’s team of Margaret Stocks and Dawn Allen were our PM winners, a composite team from C.ex Club and Park Beach.

Congratulations to all.

A big, big thank you to all who participated and made the day another great success.

Many thanks go to our loyal sponsors of Aveo Freedom Aged Care, C.ex Club, Geoff King Motors, Keith Logue & Son and Westlawn Finance.

We could not run this Carnival without your support.
