The highly anticipated Stanthorpe Bowls Fours Carnival was held recently on a Sunday blessed with clear skies and beautiful weather. Teams from Drayton, Clifton, Warwick, Summit, Texas and individual players from as far away as Chermside, Alstonville and Wellington Point helped make the day a resounding success.
The green was filled to overflowing and there was plenty of competitive bowling and friendly rivalry. Thanks to the major sponsors, the Bendigo Community Bank and the Stanthorpe Golf Club who contributed to the success of event.
Of course there always has to be winners and it was the team from Warwick East who left with the biggest smiles on their faces after their win.
The team from the Southern Cross club finished in second place and the visitors from Chermside filled third place.
The last round winners were a composite team skipped by Frank Taylor.
Congratulations to the winning team and all those who travelled to Stanthorpe.
The committee of the Stanthorpe Bowls Club wishes to especially thank the dedicated band of volunteers who contributed to the success of the day and worked tirelessly to prepare the green and mark the lines, and of course the ladies who provided a wonderful lunch and afternoon tea.
(Our apologies to the Stanthorpe Bowls club – the report in last week’s edition of Spin somehow lost its headline and got lost in a golf report. The event was such a success we decided it should run again where hopefully it will not get lost again.)
