This year Matt Cursio “scooped the pool”. He received four prizes along with a Super Veteran’s badge plus accepting a sectional flag. Debbie Code received two prizes and an “8” badge after only bowling for three years, whilst Gerda van der Peet received three prizes.

Beginning the presentations were the Super Veteran’s badges. They were awarded to Derek Aplin, Matt Cursio, Peter Gathergood, Maurice Foster, Joan Gartrell, Eileen McCormack, and Val Morris. Each of these members had a summary of their club participation and achievements read out. Val Morris’s was amazing. She has had 12 different achievements, including either being in the winning or the runner-up triples team nine times between the years 2001-13.
