Windsor 100 Classic Men’s Fours
from JUNE 2023
The annual Windsor 100 Classic Men’s Fours Carnival was held in April. The club looked picture perfect the recently completed renovations following the devastating March 2022 floods. This small heritage listed club was inundated by 1.7 metres of water.
A full complement of 28 teams travelled from all parts of Queensland and interstate to participate in one of the most popular bowls events on the bowls calendar. This year’s field was again one of the strongest assembled with multiple current and former state, national and international players competing.
A popular part of this tournament is a powerplay worth double points that can be called by each team in every game.
The team to accumulate the most powerplay points during the five games win a separate prize of $500. If more than one team are on equal highest Powerplay points then a one bowl shootout by the skips determines the winner. This occurred again this year with Pat Casey and Adam McKeown’s team equal on 16 powerplay points. Pat elected to bowl first in the shootout drawing about half a metre short of the jack. Adam took no time on the mat and the crowd erupted into applause as he drew the shot to pocket the prizemoney.
67 Years for Kandanga’s Beryl Dan
Kandanga Bowls Club held a luncheon and bowls day recently to honour Mrs. Beryl Dan, who is retiring from bowls after a commitment of 67 years to the sport of lawn bowls.
A large crowd of family, friends and fellow bowlers gathered together for a wonderful day at the Kandanga Country Club to celebrate Beryl’s amazing achievement. Beryl began playing bowls at Kandanga in 1956, and played with that club consistently until 2011, when she moved away from the area.
Beryl, along with Adrienne (Puddy) Dan, was deservedly awarded Life Membership of Kandanga Bowls Club in 2001.
Kandanga Bowls Club celebrates its 75th anniversary next year, and Beryl with her husband Ted were an integral part of establishing the club in its infancy. We wish Beryl good health and happiness on her retirement from our sport, and would welcome her back anytime for a roll-up.
