TUESDAY 28th May: A good turn up of members for bowls today, all keen for a game of bowls and more importantly to celebrate our Grade 3 Pennant team’s winning of TGWBC first State Pennant Team Flag. A” surprise” morning tea for our history making bowlers followed by a march through a guard of honour on the green. Many thanks to our invited guests Lyn Humprhies (TGWBC Patron) and Dorothy Thompson (TGWBC Life Member) for attending.
