Bowling up a Storm

The Gaythorne Bowls Club are rejoicing with the opening of their new number two green that took place last month!

Since opening, the green has received great feedback from members, who have been playing the green slowly since its opening to allow it to settle down. There will also be another minor renovation in early September to ensure the greens stay in tip-top shape for players to enjoy.

This month will see the club participate in the Brisbane ‘District Champion Of Champions’ knockout events that take place in the northern suburbs. Gaythorne will be represented by their Club Champions; Daryl Toye, Kevin Tuite, John Hay and Les Dawes. Pairs will include Mitch Koroloff and Mardy Foster that will be played at Everton Park on 9th and 16th July. Lastly Graham Hodges will head up the Singles at Windsor on 23rd and 30th July.

The club would like to extend a huge congratulations to all players and wish them all the best contesting their events. If you would like to watch some great District Bowls and give support to fellow members, it would be greatly appreciated.

In the past few months, the Gaythorne Bowls Club hasreceived a lot of success with ‘The Four Amigos’ namely, Les Dawes, John Hay, Kevin Tuite and Daryl Toye winning the 2023 Fours Championship after a good battle against their opponents, Les Penhaligan, Brian Morgan, Ian Foster and Pat Maguire. After trailing 7 - 1 in the game, Les Dawes’ team was able to fight back, taking out the title 16- 14.

The club would like to acknowledge the great contributions made by Life Members (and their wives and families; it doesn't just happen without their support!) to the Gaythorne Bowls Club over the years. Life Members include;

• George Machen inducted 2007

• Colin Morris inducted 2014

• John Langworthy inducted 2016

• Graham Hodges inducted 2017

Congratulations goes out to Brian Morgan and his team of Club members who run the Gold Program so professionally and make the visitors to the Club feel so welcome at Gaythorne. The happy photo below says it all!
