Absent from picture was Julie Schumacher. SOLDIERS Point women bowlers had a great year of achievements in 2022, culminating in bringing home two pennant flags. Recently they celebrated the unfurling of the flags to mark their wins in the very competitive 2022 Pennant rounds. The Division 1 team won the Newcastle District and Regional pennant flag, while Division 2 won the Newcastle District flag, both teams excelling in the high level of challenging rounds. Division 1 went on to contest the State Pennant rounds, with a creditable second in their section. The unfurling day celebration, attended by officials from Newcastle District Womens’ Bowling Association, President Marion Wilson and Match chair Vicki Rankin, began with the traditional Scottish piper, Ian Innes, piping the teams to the flag pole for the hoisting of the two flags. This was followed by a lunch provided by the club, with toasts to the teams and to the club for its generous support. The Division 1 team consisted of Pam Stephens, Jan Sutherland, Betty Herbertson, Julie Schumacher, Leisa Burton, Cheryl Field, Melissa Wicks, and Adelle Pearson. The Division 2 team was Maria Barrett, Rosita Kamis, Rosita Ryan, Sandra Ball, Vacie McIntyre, Alison Moxey, Lyn Hinton and Robyn Flanagan.
