A full green of bowlers at Yarraman was a great sight last Sunday.
It was President Neil Johnston’s “at home”, and two games of 18 ends were played with scoring two for an end and four for a win.
Warren Arthur’s Nanango team showed them how by racking up 60 points.
Next best was the Burnett District President’s team skipped by Bevan Barsby. They scored 54 points and with a margin of 17 were named runners-up from Brian Profke’s team, who tallied only 17 points with their two wins.
The day presented an opportunity for Yarraman’s Secretary Ken Sheldon to be pinned with his Life Member badge.
Two other awards were also handed out: Tom Johnson gained his Veterans Badge and Ron Lucas was pinned with a Super Veteran Badge.
These two players have spent a considerable part of their life on a bowling green.
