🌤️ Another pleasant bright sunny day greeted the ladies for three games of Triples, with a "blind" draw for team members along with draw for opponents and rink…
🟢 Debbie English, Jenny Stevens and Val Pritchard 18 defeated Ly Ivin, Gina Dalmulder and Cheryl West 7
🟢 Ruth Redman (Swinger), Judy Sheely and Penny Gibson 21 defeated Ruth, Di Pritchard and Jenny Burley 14
🟢 Elizabeth Higgins, Kerrie Green and Bev Germon 22 accounted for Marge Moore, Val Smith and Julie Kriss 12
🟢 And as the Trophy of the day was a draw of the cards, winners were team Debbie, Jenny S and Val.

It is great to have our "beginner" Bowlers coming along and joining in our Social Games and getting familiar with play before the 2027 Scheduled Program starts.

Welcome back to Bev Murray who has been visiting family overseas and safe travels to President Jenny and husband Max who are off to see some of the sights of the world and "no cooking meals for several weeks", have a great time! ✈️

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​HISTORY OF GLOUCESTER WOMEN'S BOWLING CLUB

 

On the 23 July 1952, 21 ladies met at the Gloucester Bowling Club to form the first ladies committee. Mrs W Dignam was unanimously elected President, Vice Presidents were Mrs Carson and Mrs V West, Secretary was Mrs N Bates, Treasurer Mrs Creagh.

 

At this time the ladies were playing bowls with the men’s Club and were assisting them in providing amenities for the Club by holding several fund-raising functions and helped by catering whenever requested by the men’s club.

 

The women didn’t have uniforms and played in tennis frocks and coloured socks for two years. In a very short time by February 1953 Gloucester Women’s Club had 37 registered bowlers with the New South Wales Women’s Bowling Association.

 

Today the Club is thriving with 35 registered playing members, 7 social Members and 1 associated member and nine of these registered members have been acquired in the past two years. This is a great achievement considering a lot of country clubs are struggling to remain viable in a changing world. Thanks to a proactive and nurturing Committee and membership base we have been able to achieve this enviable result.

​

We will continue our membership drives and orientation days in 2021 with enthusiastic vigour welcoming all into the fold.

 

The Gloucester Women’s Bowling Club holds its annual Gala Day in July or August each year. This carnival has been very successful particularly in the last couple of years especially with the return of the grass green, enabling up to 28 teams to participate.

 

Our hospitality and reputation for good and generous home-style cooking entices a lot of return players from far and wide.

 

The ladies’ bowls day is Wednesday and is mufti unless you are participating in a competition match. All visitors are most welcome. Morning tea is served at 9 am, names in by 9 am and commencement of play is 9.15 am.

 

Gloucester ladies also participate in district Pennants and were successful in 2018 with a grade 5 Pennant Flag.

 

Mixed bowls is played on Saturday morning commencement of play is 9.30 am in uniform, once again we would welcome anyone to join us on the green for great bowling and good companionship.
