2019 Open House – April 19 & 20, 2019:
A few pictures from day 1 of our Open House
A visitor to our Open House today was Linda Slider, aged 93 (with her daughter Roslyn Walsh and club president Athol Trickett).
Linda and her husband Alex were original club members and part of the group that envisioned what our club could be. They also donated the Linda & Alex Slider trophy that is handed out yearly to the winner of the Men’s Day Draw.
She says that she’d like to roll a few more bowls before she hits 100 years young!!!
