TATURA BOWLS CLUB

The Presentation Night awards were dominated in the Men's section by Darryn Carpenter who won the Men's Singles Club championship, the 21Up Championship and the 100Up championship. A wonderful achievement and possibly not achieved in the club's history.

Dot Best won the Ladies Singles Championship, Keith Smith the 2 Bowls Singles Championship, Men's Pairs John Attwood and Ash McDonnel and the Mixed Pairs was won by John and Faye Attwood. The Tatura Hospital Charity Day bowls attracted 18 teams playing in the ‘Two Bowls Triples’ event in perfect conditions for social bowls. There were four 3-game winners with the eventual winners being Bart Lethlean, Chris Lethlean and Geoff Higgins from the Murchison Bowls Club, defeating on a countback Tatura Bowls Club members John Attwood, Dot Best and Faye Attwood. Unlucky to be out of the prize money and also with three game wins was teams led by Noel Mulcahy and Peter LeSueur. Nearest the ditch was won by Phyl Fiddes and Keith Smith. Resting touchers won by Mark Bentley, Phyl Fiddes, Mavis Marshall and Peter Wallis. Novice award winner Bec Martino and Novice with Potential Kate Magee.

The large number of generously donated sponsor vouchers and products enabled over forty valuable raffle prizes to be on offer. Raffle ticket sales were well supported by the community from pre-sales and on the bowls day and together with green fees it has enabled the Tatura Bowls Club to donate to the Tatura Hospital over $2700 which will be presented at a later date.

Former member Geoffrey Pieper passed away on April 15th and condolences are extended to wife Bev and family. Geoff was the B Grade winner in 2001 and a club pairs winner with Ken Webber in 2014. In his estimated 20 years association with the club, he was a keen worker and particularly prominent when he was on the Tatura Club's Centenary celebrations committee in 2004.

A Tatura Bowls Club trio were successful in winning the Girgarre RSL triples event held on ANZAC Day at Valley View Golf and Bowls Club. Seth Tziros (S), Col Johnson and Ken Cornell brought home some wonderful sponsor donated prizes including a large number of dairy products from Fonterra of Stanhope.
