FIVE DONCASTER PLAYERS ARE ENJOYING THE 57th SUNSHINE COAST CARNIVAL.

This is the third year some of our members have escaped to the warmth on the Sunshine Coast. Dinesh Balgovind, Bob Urquhart, Peter and Lyn Goodman and Richard Lovell have all been playing in different combinations and various games at many clubs up and down the coast and hinterland.

ONE DAY IT WAS COLD ALL DAY

Some days it is an all day game from 8.45am till 4pm and on others just in the afternoon.

FOUR WISE MONKEYS?

One long day Richard and Dinesh won the best 2nd. game with 9 out of 12 ends with a margin of 19 shots up at the Caloundra Men’s Pairs.

WINNERS ARE GRINNERS

Another day Lyn starred in the sports segment on the 6pm Channel 7 news and she forgot to watch it!!!

LYN’S FIVE SECONDS OF FAME

In between times we have dined together both at RSL’s and cooked delicious meals at home. Richard’s wife Heather, who also came, can cook a great home made lasagne..thanks Heather.

FISH AND CHIPS AT THE GOODMAN’S

On our bowls free days we have played tourist at the shops and cafes and in the cars sightseeing.

PETER SIGHTSEEING UP THE COAST

We have visited old friends and rellies and have been swimming once the weather improved.

FOUR BEACH BABES?

There are many bowlers here from all over Australia, and also a big contingent from New Zealand. As well as being good bowlers the Maori singing is wonderful.

MAGICAL MAORI HARMONY

WE WERE 2ND ON THE TOP SHEET

So far our best effort has been lying second after three games on the Mixed Fours day. Sadly we lost the last game and dropped back to ninth.

Watch for more news and photos…..probably lots…as the carnival continues…….Lyn.

Ok, here’s some of the fabulous colourful and often quite appropriate team members Tshirts.
