Thursday April 11 was an afternoon of mixed social bowls with the winners of the day in a very tight game was Kay Garner, Vanda Ballao, Joy Woods and Margaret.
Friday April 12, we had our monthly Trophy night proudly sponsored by North Queensland Green Solutions where most of the Brandon community turned up for a great night of bowls. We had 82 bowlers which must be a record with everyone having a great time.
The weather was perfect and nice to bowl in cooler conditions for a change.
A massive thanks goes out to the evening’s Coordinators Gary Pearce and Bob Jorgenson for making sure everyone got on the green under very difficult circumstances.
Another big thank you to the ladies in the kitchen for putting together a great smoko and the BBQ was cooked by our onsite chef Len Feeny who once again did a great job.
Stayed tuned for next round and sponsor.
Winners were Sandra Darween, Margaret Chapman, Henry Hazel and Gary Pearce; Runners Up were Ryan West, Lloyd Shepherd Brett Wilshere and Jayson Farry; and Winners of the Losers were J Lewis, Dee, H Prideaux and E Lewis.

B Grade singles saw three games played with Gary Nosworthy playing the in-form Peter Lejarraga in the first; the form continued with Peter taking out the match.
Ken Ferguson played Norm Storrie on Friday with Norm taking out the lead early on in the game - unfortunately for him, Fergie came home strong to win the game.
