Friendship Carnival at Ettalong
Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club was the venue for the second Bowls Past President's Association of NSW Friendship Carnival held from Monday, May 13, to Friday, May 17.
The carnival is held every two years and was first held in Tamworth in 2011.
The event saw a program of two games of 18 ends played on Tuesday and Thursday and one game on the Friday morning with Wednesday's lay day being a Mystery Tour by coach.
Over 80 players, reserves and officials came from all over the state to participate, including retired ex bakery and cafe owners Keith and Marie Moore who had travelled down from Werris Creek, south west of Tamworth.
Next year, the 21st National Friendship Carnival of Bowls 2014 will be held on the Central Coast hosted by the combined efforts of Ettalong Memorial, Terrigal, Avoca Beach and Davistown RSL Bowling Clubs.
