It was a highly successful event for Mandurah bowling club, which highlighted their brand new synthetic green and fully enclosed indoor green.
After a bit of confusion due to Covid restrictions and competitors having to pull out and some original information that was supplied by the Australian Master’s Games, Mandurah was able to run a streamlined event. There was wonderful feedback from the many competitors, several from other states in Australia.
A Huge Thank you must go out to the many volunteers who made it a success.
- The many members who helped on roster during the week
- Mandurah’s own umpires – with a special thanks to Robyn Coxon from Yunderup and David and Larraine Heckingbottom and Greg Crisp from Halls Head
- Ed Burley and the guys looking after the greens
- Christine Hough and volunteers who kept up the supply of bacon and egg toasted sandwiches, of which a record amount were sold each day. As well as other food
- Bar Staff who helped with the food and drinks
