White HIlls Bowling Club

Sadly today we lost another one of our treasured bowlers, Jan Sertori. Jan will be remembered as one of our ladies who brought so much enthusiasm and enjoyment to the club, serving on many committees and always there to lend a hand. Jans funeral will be held at the Holy Rosary Church on the 19th of June at 11.00am followed by a burial at Whitehills cemetery followed by refreshments at our club. Our thoughts go out to Bill and family at this very sad time.

Once again a perfect Autumn day for our social bowls with numbers on the rise again. Ends won was needed to separate two teams with two wins and 15 up. And it was the team of Frank Gargiulo, Geoff Pitson and Bill Poulter who came out the winners. Runners up were Heather Neil, Jason Turley and Ted Liddell. Winner of the jackpot was Denise Saunders.

Great to have the Huntly CFA at the club for barefoot bowls. Typical of the CFA no matter the weather they will be there. The chilly night didn't deter the rugged up group from enjoying what turned out to be fairly competitive night , thanks to one of their members, our coach Jason Turley.

Another great day for our social bowls with a few more numbers playing. Winners on the day were Julie Tyler, Geoff Baldwin and Pauline Chapman with 2 wins plus 22. Runners up were Allan Charlton, Ron Franzi and Geoff Pitson with 2 wins plus 19.
The winners of a competition run during the season at training were Marg Baldwin and Bill Poulter.

Our presentation night wrapped up season 25/26 in fine style. The room was filled with award recipients as well as supportive members and partners. Once again our ladies provided a wonderful supper and thanks to Ian Paterson who looked after the bar.

The club also announced that Jason Turley will once again coach the club in 26/27.
A great night to finish the season, look forward to seeing you all at social bowls.

Another great day for bowls with a good roll up enjoying the conditions. Once again Ron Franzi was in the winning team, this time with Heather Neil with two wins and 11 up. Runners up were Pauline Chapman and Ted Liddell also with 2 wins. See you all at the Presentation night on Friday starting at 6.00.

The cool weather couldn't keep our hardy bowlers off the greens today. And once again a few of our long time members went home with the spoils. Hank Jansen and Ron Franzi won with 2 wins and a huge 28 up while John Fitzpatrick collected the jackpot.
The club will be supplying supper for our presentation night so please put your name on the notice board sheet or let secretary Heather know.
