Tin Can Bay Ladies Bowls Club

2020 is fast drawing to a close and what a year it has been.

It has been so good to get back on the green and play the game we all love so much.

Because of the Covid restrictions placed on the number of patrons being allowed into the Country Club we have been unable to have our monthly trophy days, which were always very popular with visiting bowlers.

Thankfully with the easing of restrictions we are now able to hold a trophy day so on Tuesday December 1, we are having combined President/Patroness Day and our big Christmas Bash.

For the past few years our Trophy Day has been a charity day, sponsored by the one and only Beryl Murray, with all money raised going to Palliative Care.

Beryl still wanted to sponsor this day this year with just our club members and I am pleased to say that with the generosity of the Country Club matching what our members donated on the day, Beryl and Brad, our Club Manager, presented Palliative Care with a cheque for $2000.00.  Well done everyone.

Thankfully, once we were allowed back on the green we were able to get all championships completed and our champions for this year are: A Grade Singles,Tina Andersen; B Grade Singles, Maureen Kay; Pairs, Tina Andersen and Rachael Knapp; Triples, Judy Hammond, Lorraine Stockham and Janet Patzwel;, Rinks,Tina Andersen, Irene Slann, Rachael Knapp and Carmel Mills. Congratulations to everyone. The presentation of trophies will be held on Sunday December 6.

The AGM is being held on Friday December 4 and ladies, all affiliation fees have to be paid by this day please.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and looking forward to a much better year in 2021.
