Everglades holds bowling club members' day

Everglades Bowling Club members celebrated Members' Day on September 14.

The day was attended by Bowls Central Coast state councillor and secretary Mr Doug Rose and Chairman of Match Mr Garry Ellis and was organised by Master of Ceremonies Mr Andrew McDonald.

"The attendees enjoyed a game of bowls in the morning then a two-course lunch," Mr Rose said.

Mr Rose then presented Bowls NSW merit badges to Everglades vice president Mr Max Hull and treasurer Mr Mal Hughes and royal tie bars to Everglades assistant secretary Mr Gary Clarke and Men's Bowls Section president Mr Ian Richardson.

Ladies Bowls Section president Ms Jan Jones announced the presentation of the Ladies Brooches to Ms Pat Bray and Ms Val Davey.

Zone merit badges were presented by Mr Garry Ellis to chairman of selectors Mr Peter Gaffel and also to publicity officer Mr Brian Dolan.

A Zone name bar was presented to relative newcomer Mr John Orme.

"The other name bar was presented to Andrew McDonald for four years on Committee and five years as bowls secretary, incredibly overdue one might say," Mr Rose said.

Ms Jones then presented Zone Ladies brooches to Ms Carol Edwards and Ms Wendy Ide.

"Bowling Clubs would not exist without the hard work of volunteers and Everglades needs to be congratulated for ensuring that a Members Day is held each year to thank their hard-working members," Mr Rose said.
