Three days of bowls

 

Everglades Country Club will hold three days of bowls over the Australia Day long weekend, January 26, 27 and 28.

Men's two bowls triples will be held on Saturday, January 26, with nominated teams playing two games of 18 ends, commencing at noon.

Ladies triples will be played on Sunday, January 27, with prize money of $400 offered for nominated teams playing two games of 15 ends, commencing at 10am.

Versatility Fours will be played on Monday, January 28, for prize money of $630, starting at 9.30am.

The last week in November saw the Versatility Fours featuring Christmas fare as prizes.

First prize was taken out by Sue O'Connor, Mim Rose, Ron Pye and Jack Ghiggino.

Federation Day was held on December 17 and included a sausage sizzle and a game of mufti bowls.

Many players had never played bowls before and it is hoped this day may give them a taste for the sport and bring them back to participate more often.

As part of this day, presentations were made to a number of Everglades members who were volunteers at the Olympics.

This was in the form of a certificate and badge and was greatly appreciated by all the recipients.

A sum of $706.20 was raised on the day for the Westpac Helicopter Rescue Service.
