11 October

Play in the usual Wednesday Nominated Triples started a little late as the weather was looking a little threatening.

The overcast probably put some players off, however 38 bowlers lined up to play 20 ends which resulted in 5 games of Triples and 1 game of Fours.

That same name again cropped up in the winners’ circle.

Greg Pearson’s team of Bill Bridges and Lance Atkins won a count back with 35 points from Graham Kelly, Henry Dallas and Col Saillard.

With the Palm Lake sponsored Mixed Pairs taking place over the weekend there was no Friday Jackpot Bowls played today.

14-15 October

Eighteen teams participated in the Palm Lake Annual Mixed Pairs played over the weekend.

Organisers were keeping their fingers crossed that the weather would remain fine.

Three games of 10 ends were played on Saturday and two games of 10 ends played on Sunday.

The Saturday games just made it through before the rain started to fall.

Only two teams survived unscathed on Saturday which set up some exciting contests for the next day.

They say that cream rises to the top and such was the case on Sunday when short-priced favourites, Vicki Rankin and Sean Mearrick kept their unblemished record intact.

They finished with an overall margin of 48 shots.

Robyn and Scott Beaumont were tipped to push the winners all the way but they dropped their last match to run second.

They had a margin of 32 shots; just edging out third placegetters, Olive McKeown and Danny Johnson on 27.

During the presentation of prizes, Bowling Club President, Max Stephens praised the Palm Lake Resort for their support of bowls in Tea Gardens area.

Kim Bright, representing Palm Lake Resort, reinforced that commitment.

He also praised all those that had made a contribution to ensuring the success of the tournament.

In other news:

The “Kneelers and Grippers” charity day is scheduled for Saturday 21 October.

This will be a great fun day for a good cause with all money raised going to a “Start for Life Foundation” which will support children in our area.

Two games of 12 ends will be played with a sausage sizzle thrown in for the cost of $15.00.

The event is open to both male and female bowlers.
