WHAT’S YOUR CLUB BEEN DOING? Yandina Open Fours Tournament

The Yandina Bowls Club (Club Yandina) has preparations well underway to host their Open Fours Tournament again on the weekend of April, 1-2. Last year’s tournament saw Club Yandina host 28 teams for the weekend, with teams coming from all over South East Queensland and as far away as Charleville. This year’s tournament promises to be even bigger and better, with teams entering fast to compete for the $5,500 prize pool. Local businesses have shown their support again for the event, through generous sponsorship and donations of raffle prizes.

Club Yandina sees this annual Open Fours Tournament as a fantastic opportunity to introduce visiting bowlers, their families and friends to the homely delights of the club, the historic hinterland township of Yandina and the surrounding Sunshine Coast areas. Local bowlers and visitors are, of course, always welcome at Club Yandina. Why not try Social Pairs Bowls on Tuesdays from 1pm or Friday Barefoot Bowls from 4pm?

Chermside’s Pink Day

A great day of fun and bowls was enjoyed by more than 100 bowlers at Club Chermside to commemorate the Jane McGrath and St Vincent’s Private Hospital Pink Day. Most people wore pink attire and those who didn’t, were fined $5 by the Pink Police who scrutinised all the players throughout the day.

More than $4,400 was raised to be donated to the charities. A big thank you to all those who participated.
