Bowls carnival at Umina
Twenty eight teams contested the King and Queen carnival at Umina Beach Bowling Club from November 9 to 11.
The carnival began in hot and humid conditions with M Braham leading with a three-end win +22 followed by A Thornhill with three ends +17 at the end of the day.
The end of the second day saw G Canobie in the lead on three ends + 29 followed by D Nowland on three ends + 26.
The final day saw grim weather conditions and play looked unlikely, however, after a delayed start and a reduction in the number of ends to be played, the bowlers took to the greens and were able to finish all games.
Judy Ahearn and Dick Nowland from Avoca came out on top with five ends +46, followed by Pat Neal and Alan Rhodes from Umina on five ends + 39 and Lorraine Rixon and Graeme Smith from Belmont on five ends + 12.
