The last of North Mackay Bowls Club championships were played on Sunday with the mixed pairs final between John Kennell and Lorraine Silman who played Dave McKendry and Daphne Offield. The spectators were treated to some good bowls played by both teams, but probably the difference was in Lorraine’s drives, which often took shot from Dave and Daphne. Lorraine and John won by 28-12. Lorraine and Bert Hobbs were runners up last year, but this year Lorraine and John have won the title. It is good to see the next generation of bowlers being coached by head coach, Felix Purcell, and Ian Beveridge through the school’s programme at Goosies. Both boys and girls appeared to take a keen interest. The club has several up and coming new and younger players who will be putting their name down for pennants and other club competitions next year, which is very good for both our club and bowls in general. Social Bowls Results. Monday’s Mixed Pairs resulted in a win for Alan Brown and Doug Dungavell, followed by Darren Laurens and Lawrence Borg. Wednesday Ladies triples winners were J. Grech, S. Bartolo and L. Ford. Second came C. Boxall, D. Dodds and R. McDermott. Thursday mixed pairs was won by Jean Schmidtke and Lidia McCarthy.

Last Sunday there were two Goosies club championship titles decided. First was the final of the Senior (over 60) Men’s Singles. This was won by Tony Allsop who played Bill McCurry. The game was exciting, as several times when Tony was holding shots, Bill took out the lead bowl with an up shot. Tony kept up the pressure however, finally winning by 25-11. The other title was the club Mixed Fours. The competing teams were Kees Struik, John Priest, Val DePinto and Marie Bragg against Ron Bowers, Dave McKendry, Lorna Bowers and Chrissy Hall. This was also a good game. In the end, Kees Struik’s team was too good for Ron Bowers’, winning by 26-9. These games were the only ones played on Sunday, and were on alternating greens, so the spectators could keep an eye on both. John Chester-Master was the umpire, as well as marker for the Allsop/McCurry game. Thank you, John: all the time you spend at the club is very much appreciated. Social Bowls.

Last Saturday we held a send- off for well- known bowling member, Ken Wedel who is going to reside in Emu Park. Ken and Pat are going to live near their daughter who has a large property there. Ken will still play bowls, but at this stage is not sure if he will join Emu Park or Yeppoon club. Ken started off the St. Lawrence club and was their president for several years. When he came to North Mackay Bowls club in 2004, he became a member of the committee. He has won several championships, the latest being the two bowl triples club championships this year. The day was a great success with 10 rinks filled. In first place was a triple of Ron Bowers, Albert Graves and Neil Blucher, with Vic Gaudion and Peter Horsburgh filling second place. Ken shouted everyone drinks at the end of the day. Social Bowls Monday pairs was won by Maurie Pearson and Elaine Buxton, followed by Brenda and Wayne Trannore.

Saturday was a big day for Vaughn Munroe at Goosies club. Vaughn has sold his property at The Leap and has decided to move to Hervey Bay. Saturday was his last day playing at Goosies after being a member since 1996. As a farewell gesture, Vaughn and the club put on six prizes of $60, while his good mate, Peter Grant shouted the bar. The day was run as a men’s pairs competition, and it was pleasing to see 13 rinks in play. Prizes were drawn from the cards, rather than scores, and a great day was had by all. Amongst Vaughn’s best memories was being part of the division 2 pennants team in 2016 that won the pennant when the team moved into first division. This year Vaughan played in Division 5, which also won the pennant, so he has some great memories to take with him. Social results Monday mixed pairs was won by Peter Miller and Doug Dungavell, followed by visitors, Joan and Glen. Wednesday Ladies Day winners were F. Warner, S. Roscoe and L. Lemke. Second was S. Thomsen and J. Comelli. First round novice winner was N. Schmidtke. Thursday’s results were not available and there was no play on Friday. Saturday winners were Ryan Vigliante and Ken Wedel, B. Ryan and Wayne Olsen, Fred King and Peter Grant, Albert Graves and Wayne Trannore, Trevor Laurens and Greg McLean and David Evans and Bill McCurry. Pics credit Tony Allsop.

Ron and Lorna have been members for close on 30 years with Ron serving on the NMBC Committee for several of those years. The lovely Lorna has contributed much during her time with the NMLBC and is currently one of the ladies’ selectors. To cap off a successful year, it also just happens to be Ron and Lorna’s Golden Wedding Anniversary this year!
