Tully Bowls Club prepares for great year ahead
JOAN Mercer has been elected interim president of Tully Bowls Club.
Rod Bradley is vice president, Des Roberts is secretary and Robyn Brunello is treasurer.
Club spokeswoman Rita Pezzutto said all the honorary positions were filled.
“The future of our club is in good hands and we all look forward to a great year of bowling,” she said.
“We also welcome any new members who would like to join us.
“After (the annual meeting earlier this month), 18 members enjoyed playing on our newly-repaired green, which had been damaged in the recent floods.
“Many thanks to all the members plus non-members who helped with the repairs.”
In the meantime Cassowary Coast councillor Trudy Tschui said the excitement of the Tully centenary was gathering momentum as the month of June approached.
“The Tully 100 committee were recently sent some memorabilia, after members of the Pylant family thought this would be a good opportunity to share their mother’s badges from her time spent with the Tully Bowls Club,” she said.
“The committee reached out to bowls club treasurer Robyn Brunello (right), who gratefully received the badges on behalf of the club.
“The badges are now on display at the club for the community to admire. If you have any items that you would like to share, please reach out to the Tully 100 committee.”
Cr Tschui said some of the 100 events included cemetery walks, Sugar Week industry celebrations, Read-to-Me Day, Multicultural Food Celebration – 100 years of food.
