As Father’s Day is on Sunday, most of the region’s clubs are holding Father’s Day bowls events today so that Dad could relax at home with the family the next day.

I hope to have a full report about those Saturday games next week.

But there was quite a bit of activity at Yarraman this past week:

Rotational Triples were held last Saturday, and Lady President Glenda Wolski had her big day on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday the Ladies Club played scroungers.

The Rotational Triples attracted 10 teams. Conditions were 2 for an end and 4 for a win.

Winners on a count-back were Helene Johnson and Kev and Bev Profke with 40 points.

Runners-up were Les Joyce, Mike Wyvill, and Lew Saunders, while the trophy for third went to Merv and Doreen Fitch who teamed with Daphne Stewart.

Lady President Glenda Wolski hosted her day on Tuesday and attracted a full green of 64 players.

Winners were decided by closest winning margin, and they were Evelyn Jensen, Ivy Wrembreck and Barry Reithmuller with a margin of 4.

Runners-up were decided by the highest score – and the winners there were the Burnett District team of Pat Darlington, Linda Cecil, Del Lane and Bev Henness who defeated the official Yarraman team of Glenda Wolski, Gloria Anderson, Kay Dugdell and Margaret Willoughby 40 points to 5.

Glenda’s team was awarded the Sportsman’s Prize.

But the highlight of the day was probably the presentation of badges to the District Fours winners.

The Burnett District President presented badges to this years’ winners: the Yarraman team. of Helene Johnson, Bev Profke and Di Currell.

The fourth team member – Robyn Diercke – was unable to be present and received hers on Ladies Day Wednesday.

Life membership was also awarded to Ivy Wrembreck and Helen Russ (both worthy recipients).

A couple of rinks of scroungers on Wednesday.

Going down the top of list was Kev Profke on 77 as best scrounger with Neil Currell runner-up on 62.

A couple of others worth mentioning were Robyn Diercke and Glenda Wolski, both on 60.
