There was plenty of celebrating at the Southern Cross Bowls Club last Sunday as Julie Foster celebrated her 50th birthday.
Despite the celebration she still played bowls in afternoon and was joined by quite a few non bowlers keen to try their hand in two shortened games of eight ends.
Naturally as should be the case when you are celebrating a milestone, Julie Foster, Eddie Roosen, Peter Towell and Kaylene had an 11-2 win over Liam Holland, Sophia Holland, Jude Cahill and Linley Dopey.
More reason to celebrate.
Wayne Foster, Kylie Roosen, Ian Harrower and Sorelle Roosen defeated Colin Philps, Lee Roosen, Brian Muller and Sienna Roosen 5 – 3.
Corey Hodsen , Clark Davidson and Barry Ziebell had a comfortable 26-15 win against Roger Cavanagh, Linda Hartley and Kim Hankinson.
In an interesting result that had many scratching their heads Al Thornton, Joe Torrisi and Kev Mooney lost 27-12 to Bill Lee’s team of Barry Frame and Gary Penn.
The Birthday girl won the lion’s share of the wine in the raffle, again, leaving just one bottle for Linley.
Other prizes went the way of Kim Hankinson, Barry Frame, Marlene Hall, the Davidson Bros, Peter Towell, Kaylene and Colin Philps.
Julie would like to thank everyone who helped her celebrated and especially the ladies who took care of the catering and Al who did a great job in the bar making sure no one was thirsty.
