Farewell to Ron and “H”

In July we had the opportunity for members to formally thank Ron Kuziela for toiling away manfully on Sorrento’s greens for over 10 years. Ron’s service has been exemplary. Among Ron’s many past achievements has been a spectacular lawn bowls career. This includes: • Rosenthal Medal winner • Winning State Singles, Pairs and Fours • Being part of an Australian Fours title • Being part of an Australian Champion of Champion Fours title • Winning a State Consistency Singles • Representing the State in Under 40s Championships • Winning nine North Beach Bowling Club championships • Winning five Sorrento Bowling Club championships • Representing the State in Over 60s championships Truly a remarkable record. We wish Ron and Helen great success and happiness in their future endeavours swanning around down south.

Thank you to John Goddard who wrote the clever poem (alongside) – Brian Lucas

As we say farewell and all the best. To a well-known character here in the west. To thank him and remember his time. Putting some of his history down in rhyme.

He worked at our club for many a year. On the roller he had no peer. Renovating, watering and cutting the greens. Certainly not as easy as it seems.

As the grass keeps growing unabated. His work at our club cannot be understated. Up early in the day to prepare the tracks. Good enough to keep the bowlers of our backs.

On the green he was no slouch. Of his prowess I can vouch. His list of achievements great and varied. It didn’t matter with whom he parried.

Club and open events intermingle. Along the way winning a state single. A very gifted player that we can tell. Won a Rosenthal medal as well.

So, to Ron Kuziela we bid you cheers. Off to enjoy the rest of your years. Down to Mandurah the retirement village. Hope some more titles you can pillage.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Ron. For everything you have done. Good wishes also to Helen his beautiful wife. Enjoy the twilight time of your life.
