Last Sunday, what better way to spend it in Kingaroy than getting out and playing a few ends of lawn bowls?
It was a bit warm but when the sun finally disappeared behind the dark clouds that arrived in the afternoon it became a bit cooler.
Members enjoyed the company of two juniors – Lauchlan Stone and Braydon Ballin – who have recently decided to take up the sport. Both are showing a lot of promise.
Twenty-six bowlers played in three games of Triples and two games of pairs.
Games in winning order:
- Dave Barwick and Bob Robinson def. Geoff Clutterbuck and Alan Rogerson 36-12
- Marj Moore and Daryl Stone def. Darcy Munro and John Coppard 34-19
- Braydon Ballin, Bob Bougoure and Val Jeppersen def. Lauchlan Stone, Peter Neisen and Kev Raffin 23-10
- Fred Keding, Col McBride and Col Kratzman def. Evelyn Taylor, John Lacey and Gladys Slatter 19-14
- Des Richards, Lindy Clutterbuck and Alan Irwin def. Mark Wolski, Maree Millard and Beryl Woods 16-15
