Gympie Bowls Club patroness Olive Fitzpatrick has her day this Sunday, June 20, starting at 1pm.
Everyone is invited to join us on the day that honours one of our club veterans. We will be playing progressive triples which should make for an interesting afternoon of bowls and if our great winter weather continues it should be a cracker.
Congratulations also to Gillian Murphy and Carol Reedman for progressing through to the Division Pairs.
Gympie Men
Last Thursday the crisp cold start to the day provided beautiful weather in which to enjoy playing bowls. By mid-morning we saw some good bowls on display as players had the chance to test themselves in the trying conditions provided by the westerly winds.
Doug Kirwan and Geoff Green won by the biggest margin and Doug achieved the double by also winning the raffle.
Next week will be another busy week for Gympie Bowls Club at Southside.
