Members and guests celebrating  Bagalow Bowling Club's new green opening
Members and guests celebrating Bangalow Bowling Club’s new green opening

*** Congratulations to Bangalow Bowling Club on the opening of their newly renovated green on March 15. Special guests, Tweed Byron District Bowling Association President Jim Clark and Treasurer Ron McCauley, were welcomed by Club President Tony Hart and joined invited members from other clubs within the District together with Bangalow bowlers for a wonderful afternoon of social bowls.

Three months of true Aussie grit, determination and a fantastic group of volunteers, under the leadership of Greens Director Gerry Swain certainly has paid dividends. The green is a little slow at present, only just coming in, but is running true. Come early May the Tweed Byron District Bowling Association Reserve Singles Championships are scheduled to be conducted at Bangalow, by which time the green will be up to pace.

Bangalow Bowling Club, the oldest club in the Tweed Byron District, first opened its doors on 28 February 1910. Although membership has decreased over the years, there definitely has not been any decline, whatsoever, in the pride, loyalty and enthusiastic drive of all members, men and women alike.

Again, Bangalow Bowling Club, congratulations on your brilliant achievement. May your club go from strength to strength.

The Eureka 5 Bowl Pairs held at Cherry Street, Ballina last week proved to be a rewarding competition for Tweed Byron Bowlers Mick Morgan and Les Rootsey (Cabarita Beach B.C.). These fine bowlers played through four rounds of 13 ends totally unscathed and came home winners of the Mens Pairs with a score of 4 wins + 28 ahead of the second place getters on 3 wins + 28. Well done Mick and Les on a great result.

Diary Dates: Sunday 23 March District Pairs Championships begin. Please check the draw for your game Best wishes for good bowling to all contestants.
