Subscriber only Monday morning bingo at Gympie Bowls Club has been a popular event for almost 20 years. Instigated by club stalwart Olive Fitzpatrick it has retained its loyal band of bingo devotees since its inception. Not even COVID has affected attendance with numbers quickly rebounding after the lockdown. Organisers Judy Allen, Pat Sibley and Stephanie Mitchell said the most rewarding aspect of the morning was how much the bingo enthusiasts enjoyed themselves and described them as a nice happy group who enjoy a great social morning. So popular are the bingo mornings that they even take place on public holidays.

Last week was once again rain interrupted for Gympie Bowls at Southside with very little bowls happening.
Fortunately, our indoor activities were able to proceed as normal.
Tuesday was Sunshine Ladies President’s Day with over 70 bowlers from nine clubs attending. It was great to see bowlers from as far away as Kilkivan and Pomona there especially when there was no guarantee of play.
Teams were selected using a random draw. The drizzle forced the bowlers from the green but the day continued with Bowlers’ Hoy being played using a pack of cards.
