Bowling club has 70th birthday

 

Woy Woy Women's Bowling Club celebrated 70 years of bowling recently, according to publicity officer Ms Miriam Cotton.

Ms Cotton said the festivities commenced at the "oldest club on the Peninsula" with a dinner dance on Saturday, November 11.

During the evening there was a fashion parade of 70 years of uniforms, commencing with 1936 modelled by Brenda Smith, then through the 1900s to the new uniforms in 2002 and finishing with 'What of the future?'

"A new member, Linda Pointing, was given free rein and using her imagination she looked great," Ms Cotton said.

Ms Cotton said the club officially celebrated its 70th birthday at President's Day on the following Thursday, November 16, with many guests attending including state president Ms Tricia Part, state match committee member Ms Pat Payne, district president Ms Winsome Wallace, district secretary Ms Patricia Reynolds, as well as club president Ms Ida Campbell.

"The official party passed through the guard of honour led by a lone piper, Alec Gilroy.

"The mayor of Gosford, was represented by Cr Vick Scott, who attended morning tea and wished the president and the club well for the years ahead."

Ms Cotton said that during the luncheon and following the toasts, presentations of gifts were made.

The state president also presented NSW merit badges to four long-standing members of the club, secretary Dianne Elsom, secretary Patricia Kable and vice-presidents Gwenda Magnus and Miriam Cotton.
