CHARITY DAY – BALLINA RSL WOMEN’S BOWLING CLUB
HURSTVILLE DIGGERS WOMEN’S BOWLING CLUB – NANCE HAMMOND 90TH BIRTHDAY MEMBERS WERE very happy to join in the 90th Birthday celebrations for Nance on 10th October. She really enjoys her bowls, both the participation in the sport and the friendship as we meet week by week. She is a consistent player, and very hard to beat when it comes to Club Championships. There is never any problem in filling a team that Nance is to skip as she is a great encouragement to her players, especially when things are not going their way. “It’s only a game” is her motto. We wish her well in the years ahead as she continues to bowl, and hope that she may still be enjoying the sport at 100, as was her Mum. Thank you Nance, for all the pleasure you give us and Many Happy Returns.

BALLINA RSL Women’s Bowling Club held a very successful Charity Day in aid of the Westpac Helicopter recently. The weather was fine and sunny and many of the surrounding bowls clubs joined us on this day for a game, friendship and fun. The day was enjoyed by all with tombolas, raffles and prizes. The amount raised was $2,015. President Lois Cawley thanked all the members who donated prizes also for their time and effort. It helped make the day a huge success.

GLADESVILLE WOMEN’S BOWLING CLUB CHARITY DAY CHARITY DAY – MULLUMBIMBY EX-SERVICES WOMEN’S BOWLING CLUB MULLUMBIMBY EX-SERVICES recently held their Annual Charity Day which was for Westpac Life Rescue Helicopter. On the day $500 was raised amongst our very small club of 16 members from their donations, a great raffle donated by Ex-Services Club and our red piggy box which was from penalties on the greens over the last 12 months.
It was a great fun day for such a wonderful cause.
A VERY successful Pink Day for Women’s Cancer Research was recently held at Gladesville. President Lyn MacDonald, and her team of assistants from the men’s and women’s clubs were thrilled with the support of local organisations and individuals who donated services and goods for this worthy cause.
A large crowd of participants wore pink, ate pink and won pink prizes in the raffle and tombola games, which were well supported. Following a homemade pink morning tea of great variety, a spider was held with pink prizes won by all participants, who then played a relaxed game of bowls. Club members
were joined by community participants. Our men’s club stalwarts manned the BBQ at lunch time for which we were most grateful. Twenty-five major raffle prizes donated by local organisations were won by entrants on the day and this event was followed by an auction of donated bowls equipment, which also raised a significant sum. Prizes were also awarded for the best dressed and Prettiest in Pink which created a festive atmosphere. The day raised $4,000 for women’s cancer research, to add to the significant sum already raised by Gladesville Women. Congratulations to all concerned.
