Hot summer weather and seasonal storms have kept a lot of bowlers off the greens this past week.<\/p>\n

But with Australia Day now over and school back in session, the festive season has drawn to a close.<\/p>\n

This means things should quickly start returning to normal … except for club greenkeepers, who’ll be kept busy until the weather starts to cool in late April.<\/p>\n

Here’s what’s been happening at some of our local bowls clubs over the last week.<\/p>\n

Numbers were thin at last Wednesday’s Ladies Social at the Kingaroy Bowls Club, but whether this was due to the heat or the summer holidays was difficult to say.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New female members are very welcome to join, however, and if you’d like more information just call (07) 4162-1404 or 0409-755-426.<\/p>\n

The club can provide you with free coaching, and lawn bowls too.<\/p>\n

As things turned out, two games were played – a triples match and a doubles match.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Bess Thorp, John Lacey and Glady Slatter def. Des Richards, Daryl Stone and Val Jeppersen 25-8.<\/li>\n
  • Lauchlan Stone and Di Reed def. Bob Bougoure and Beryl Woods 20-17<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
