YMGCR BOWLS CLUB

Wednesday Social Bowls.

22 players participated on the 15^th of May for Wednesday Social Bowls. All games were played on the west green and the format was 3 bowl pairs, with one rink of 3 bowl triples. Winners on the day with two games won and an astonishing shot total of plus 36 shots were Rob Lidgerwood (S), and Les Wilson (L), well played gents! In second place with two games won and a shot total that would normally see them walk away with the first prize were the team of Mick Szabo (S), and Barb Tennyson (L). Mick and Barb won both their games and had a very creditable shot total of plus 24. In third place with two games won and a healthy shot total of plus 17 shots were the paring of Peter Verlardo (S), and Doug McTier (L). The Luck Number winners were Les Wilson, which rounded out a successful day for Les, and Bill Butterworth. The Rolling Jackpot didn’t go off and this week jumps to $140.00.

Retiring Office Bearers.

The Annual General Meeting of the YMGCR Bowls Section was held at the Club, in the Willow Room, on Monday evening the 6^th of May. Several members who were Office Bearers for the year 2023 / 2024 retired at the meeting. Many of these members had served for a number of years, and this is an opportunity to publicly recognize their invaluable contribution to YMGCR Bowls while in Office. YMGCR Bowls was, and is all the richer for their energy, passion and time given so generously. Without volunteers such as these, club life would be all the worse, indeed, we would not have a club at all. Those retiring from the YMGCR Bowls Committee are Greg Fisher – outgoing President, Gary Presnell – outgoing Vice President, Andy Lefevre – outgoing Bowls Secretary, Danny McNeill – outgoing Men’s Match Committee Chairman. Retiring From Ladies Match Committee – Liliana Borwick. Retiring from the Men’s Match Committee – John Wenzel. Retiring from Weekend Selection – Greg Green, Andy Lefevre, Rob Hummel and Ian Price. Retiring from Mid – week Selection – Rhonda Irvine, Albert Dodman and Alan Goudge. Thank you all for your contribution. Until next week, good bowling.
