Monday 22nd October: Robyn Beaumont and myself travelled to Raymond Terrace for Round 1 of Newcastle District Annis Young Competition. There were 31 competitors in this Consistency Competition which is held annually. Robyn and I qualified for this event by reaching the final in our club competition. Sadly, due to the luck of the draw, (or bad luck for me), Robyn and I had to bowl against each other the loser is “knocked out” of the competition. After 27 ends Robyn reached the required 150 shots while I only scored 116. On Tuesday Robyn bowled at Heaton Birmingham Gardens, 2 games to be played, she won both of these. Wednesday was a rest day then the semi final was contested on Thursday at Merewether Bowling Club. Unfortunately Robyn lost this contest to Melissa (Missy) Witt from Nelson Bay 153 v 137, Missy went on to gain 2nd place. The competition was won by Adele Pearson from Soldiers Point. Congratulations Robyn on gaining 3rd place, a great achievement.

Tuesday 23rd October: Social bowls as usual format for play 3 games of triples and a game of Fours. Prior to play President Robyn Webster welcomed our newest member Jan Coomer. It appeared Beverly Thrift, Julie Kennedy and Karen McPhie were going to be winners in their contest against Francis Betar, Lynda Richards and Maynie Roberts. The score on the 5th end 8 to 0. Thankfully Maynie’s team rallied claiming victory by 4 shots, 18 v 14. A good win for Jan Coomer, Pam Gilchrist and Sandra Leisemann 20 v Sheril Johnson, Carolyn Bywater and Karen Green 13.
