Club Umina turns 50

Club Umina has celebrated its 50th birthday with a three-day bowls carnival.

The carnival held a different bowls event each day: a women's day, a men's day and mixed day.

Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club President Mr Ian Jarratt said the carnival was a "complete success".

"Good weather, good bowls and importantly lots of fun made the three days a memorable occasion," Mr Jarratt said.

During the carnival, Club Umina members were joined by representatives from the Royal NSW Bowling Association and members from Davistown, Ettalong and Everglades clubs.

Mr Jarratt said many volunteers helped "make the carnival a successful", as well as the club's sponsors.

Further celebrations are planned for the club members later in the year.
