The Warwick East Bowls club held a very successful mixed fours carnival last Sunday in conditions ideal for lawn bowls. There was plenty of player support with 16 teams on the green during the carnival.
After three rounds, the overall winners were Peter Collis, Frank Taylor, Dale Callaghan and Peter Ayerst. The runners-up were Barry, Paul G, Homer C and Frank E. Third place went to Brian Brown, David Rose, Peter Smith and Tom Ho.
Trudy Elder, Elana Scott, Judy Richardson and Tina Schubert were the round one winners. In round two honours went to the team of Doug Christensen, Craig Thurgate, Trevor Wright and Brian Black. The final round went the way of Sandra Pianta, Jackie Richie, Jill Hawkins and Gay Wilmot.
The Warwick East Bowls club would like to thank major sponsors Churches of Christ and Matt’s Mowers in addition the many sponsors who donated raffle prizes.
Congratulation to the green-keeping staff who produced the green in excellent playing condition. The catering and bar staff did an amazing job keeping everyone well fed and watered throughout the day.
This week things will be less lively as the club returns to the normal mixed social bowls on Saturday. Play starts at 1pm. Please submit names by 12.30pm.
There will prizes on offer and a chance to win the substantial jackpot.
Looking ahead to next week, on Thursday 24 March the club is holding a three-bowl pairs day. Play gets underway at 10am. Please call the club on (07) 4661 9050 by 9am on the morning of play if you would like a game and are not in a regular team.
