November 3, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Bowls Club took a step away from the usual on Tuesday when it decided not to celebrate Melbourne Cup Day with a game of bowls.<\/p>\n

Instead, it put on a $15 per head Melbourne Cup Lunch which attracted over 70 guests, many of whom weren’t bowlers at all.<\/p>\n

They got to enjoy a great meal of ham, chicken and mixed salad, which was followed by a Fashion Parade with clothes supplied by Millers of Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

After that, it was down to business taking tickets in the sweeps and placing bets before the big race.<\/p>\n

The race itself was broadcast a 50-inch TV supplied for the occasion by Kingaroy’s Harvey Norman store.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, some patrons went home with winnings and some didn’t.<\/p>\n

But the club is fairly certain they’ll be back next year to do it all again.<\/p>\n
