Canton Mixed Bowlers Presentation Day 2019

Canton Mixed bowlers held their Presentation Day at their home club Canton Beach Sports Club on Friday 5th December.
Members were served an excellent three course meal (of which the author rather overindulged in, and paid the price by having to hit the Mylanta that night).
The entertainment for the event was supplied by the popular husband and wife duo of “Brassick” who play a wide range of music comprising Country, Popular and, as it's in the season, Christmas tunes. Bob King and Merle Jenkins were the “stars on the dance floor”.

The Championship winners called up by President Dave Gooch to receive their awards were for;
Mixed Triples Winners, Yvonne Kidd, Ralph Webb and Paul Pollack with Runners-Up, Bob Baker, Betty Roffey and Mal Chapman.
Mixed Pairs Winners, Betty Roffey, Linn Bourke (sub) and Doug Roffey. Betty couldn't play the Semi-final and Final due to medical reasons, so Linn substituted.
Runners-Up were Fay Tilley and Frank Butler.
Canton Mixed Bowlers also ran the Toukley District Men's Mixed Pairs Championship which was won by the team of Fay Tilley and Peter Hamill with Runners-Up, Karen Murry and Kevin Hayes.
The Dream Team Award went to Noel Cannard, Cathie Jeffery, Grahame Stear and Betty Roffey while the Guess the Lollies Competition was won by Adele Alessio.

Successful social groups are only possible with the support of dedicated committee members, and President Dave thanked his team for their effort over the year.
Canton Mixed Bowlers meet for a game each Thursday at Canton Beach Sports Club starting at
12:30 pm.

Bob Bourke
Canton Mixed Bowlers.

Umina Beach Bowling Club held it's presentation day on Saturday 16th November 2019 where
Peter Springett was announced as the 2019 Bowler of the Year.

Peter won the Major Singles and Veteran Singles Championships. Which is a monumental effort as he also found time to be the Club Secretary. Also wining the Major and Veteran's singles of such a high profile Club as Umna Beach is also remarkable.

After 2 Months BCC has 30 Registered Lady Bowlers

As of tomorrow it's been 2 months since ladies have been able to register with Bowls NSW and therefore BCC. According to the Bowls NSW Membership Records as at 30/11/2019 BCC now has 30 registered lady bowlers. Although, I can only identify ladies on the Bowls NSW Membership list by virtue of their first name, new ID number and not having a current grading. If any Club believes that I have their number of registered lady bowlers incorrect is asked to advise me of the error.
