A number of clubs have received some rain in the past few weeks, though nothing to compare with the weather in Brisbane and the coast. And perhaps that’s a good thing in some ways.
The week’s heat wave played havoc with all the bowls clubs in the area.
Heatwave conditions on several days this week created some real problems for greenkeepers and Games Directors.
All roads led to Rome in Caesar’s day, but the past week or so the traffic has been mostly heading to the Yarraman Bowls Club.

The main talking point this week was the successful Ladies Rose Bowl Carnival in Nanango.
Bowls at Kingaroy can always attract a gallery, and last Saturday’s Ladies Consistency Competition was no exception.
The long weekend became a short weekend for the Kingaroy Mixed Fours Carnival.
The Burnett District Ladies Triples competition was played at the Wondai Bowls Club on two days last week. Ten teams from throughout the region in the prestigious two bowl triples competition.
Kingaroy had a very big day last Sunday – Dave and Beryl’s day … Dave and Beryl Woods are long-time members of the Kingaroy Bowls Club
Kingaroy’s Ladies Carnival was held last weekend, and it attracted a number of Australia’s best lady bowlers, including former world Fours Champion and Commonwealth Games representative Julie Keegan.
It’s Saturday morning so it’s time to check around the bowls clubs again and see what’s been happening.
The internet problems that hit several local bowls clubs last week appear to have cleared up, so I’ll lead off this week’s report with the Nanango results that couldn’t get through the wires last week.
I don’t have a lot of bowls news this week. Reason? There’s quite a bit of visiting going on and quite a few of our region’s players are away.
There are no blue skies forecast for today and we’ve all had showers for the past few days, with most areas reporting over an inch.
I said last week that August would be interesting, and the month got off to a really great start.
Most clubs are now well under way with their club championships, and looking forward to the Spring carnivals.
The cold weather has stayed with us this last week, and it’s made sleeping in under warm covers a lot more attractive than it is in sunnier times.
The weather has been quite good for bowling lately: a cold start for each day, but no real wind.
