A big thank you to all those who worked so hard to make this night a success.

John Younghusband did a great job as MC, the dinner was delicious and the entertainment enjoyable.

Congratulations to all those who received prizes for winning Club Championship Events this year.

Tuesday 5th December social bowls played as usual. Format for play was a game of Triples and 2 games of Fours with Pauline Perry playing “swinger” lead.

A big win for Ingrid Luck, Dorothy Thompson and Lynne Green 29 v Sheril Johnson, Bette Saillard and Pat Baker 12. A closer contest between Dianne Kiss, Pam Gilchrist, Bev Rhodes and Sandra Leisemann 18 defeating Jean Glover, Jill McBride, Karen McPhie and Deyonne Page 14.

Pauline Perry had a win with Francis Betar, Bev Stephens and Dale Winter 17 v Bev Dunn, Lynda Richards and Maynie Roberts 15.

The winners on the day with the lowest winning margin were Pauline, Francis, Bev and Dale.

Thursday 7th December: ‘Break up day”.

Good to see so many lady bowlers present for the final day of bowls 2017. Prior to play 3 Spiders were played.

The winners of the Spider were Lynne Green, Pat Baker and Maynie Roberts.

This year TGWBC will be presenting a cheque for $350 to the Free Clinic bus, proceeds from our Spiders.

The format for play was Triples. Fun from beginning to end especially when we were asked to bowl with our opponents bowls, then to bowl with the opposite hand that you usually bowl with. The best one of all was after all the bowls were played the Jack was resited to the T. Good result for those bowlers who might have played some not too good shots.

Prizes were given to winners and losers by drawing cards.

The winners were Francis Betar, Julie Kennedy and Kayelene Pearson. The “Lucky Losers” were Jeanette Emmett, Dorothy Thompson and Carol Hayden. Following play everyone enjoyed a fabulous lunch, catered by our wonderful Social Committee.

On behalf of our Club President Robyn Webster and all the Tea Gardens Women Bowlers we would like to wish Vicki Rankin every success bowling at her new cub, Raymond Terrace.

Vicki has been a great asset to our club her achievements include running Sunday Introduction to Bowls for 7 years, Secretary of TGWBC for 7 years, Winner of many Club Championships, Newcastle District Representative Player and Chairperson Newcastle District Selection Committee.

Vicki was always willing to help in every facet of our Club.Two major events that she helped organise were the Unfurling of the Flag when our Grade 2 and Grade 3 Pennant teams won and the Club’s 60th Birthday celebration.

Best of luck Vicki, from all your friends in Tea Gardens.

Bowling for our members begins on Tuesday 9th January, 2018. Wishing all a happy and safe Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
