Proston’s annual Bottle Tree Carnival has been one of the region’s big bowls tournaments for many years.<\/p>\n

But with the decline of membership in country centres, Proston Bowls Club have had difficulty in keeping a stiff upper lip.<\/p>\n

The club conducted this year’s Bottle Tree Carnival last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ten teams from around the Burnett and visiting players from Dalby North played three games of fourteen ends in very hot conditions.<\/p>\n

The winning team was Alwyn Litzow, David Cecil, Linda Cecil and Tim White with a score of three wins plus 49.<\/p>\n

Runners-up were Terry Kilford, Juliana McGahan, John McGahan and Del Lane with a score of three wins plus 19.<\/p>\n

There was a third prize, too, and it went to Bevin Barsby, Neil Johnston, Noel Young and George Wolski.<\/p>\n

At the trophy presentation, Proston President Noel Young spoke highly of the club\u2019s effort.<\/p>\n

Their membership has dropped to just six, he said.<\/p>\n

      Kilcoy is a great team for visiting neighbours and other clubs – and what better time to do it than Christmas?<\/p>\n

      Last Friday Trudi Pratt, Nelly Herbert, Pauline Lawson and Liz Frawley attended Aspley’s Christmas Cheer Day.<\/p>\n

      They had a very enjoyable game with President Pat and her team, and Liz was lucky to be drawn from the hat as a winner.<\/p>\n

      Then on Monday, a team of ladies skipped by Jenny Edwards went to Caboolture Lakes President’s at Home where they won their game against Woodford.<\/p>\n

      Last Saturday was Chaplaincy Charity Day and it was a good day regardless of the very hot weather, raising over $600 for the local Chaplaincy team.<\/p>\n

      On Tuesday, Jenny Edwards defeated Kelly Charters in the last Star of the Green for 2015.<\/p>\n

      Jackpot day on Tuesday saw some great competition, too.<\/p>\n

      Winners of the day were Noel Lanes, Kathy Hill and Liz Frawley who defeated Trudi Pratt, Fay Vicary, Adam Kelly and John Worrall 14-10.<\/p>\n

      In the other game played, Jenny Edwards, Kelly Charters, Pauline Lawson and Elayne Moat defeated Marg Worrall, Brett Kelly, Nelly Herbert and Col Ferguson 13-8.<\/p>\n

      The jackpot did not go off and will be $39 next week.<\/p>\n
