away. Ted might have been demoted after his Malta misdemeanour but he well and truly earned his stripes with Sorrento. He was a longterm Pennants player with our Club, achieving considerable success as a member of Des Bennett’s team as well as skippering on social bowls days. Ted, typically soldiered on with his bowls for a couple of years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Sonia continued to care for him until he was transferred to hospital where he sadly passed away after a brief time in respite. – Jim Woodward
The annual Cancer Fundraising Day
T
his event was held on Friday 24 September with 42 players taking part. The weather was lovely but the green quick, which made for some tricky conditions. Winners on the day were John Jackson, Doug Pittaway, Steve Platts and Colin Scott (pictured) with runners up Jennifer Page, Robyn Woodward, Bev Carrigy and Steve Bomford. An amount of $620 was raised for the Cancer Foundation through competition fees and donations from members and the Club. Well done to all! – Barbara Spence
