August/September Newsletter No. 5

Kevin Coggin had the honour of being the final Winner of the Friday pairs com-petition that has been running each Friday since 2006. On Friday July 12, Kevin was presented with his prize from Bonnie Lude. Over those years Bonnie had spent many hours collating the scores, and could not declare an actual Winner for the final 3 weeks, due to there being a three way tie. In the end Kevin got the points and was declared the Winner. Many thanks to Rowly Volk who hand crafted the beautiful and unique Trophies which were presented each year. Photo includes previous Winner Russell Familton and competition assistant Johnny Mac.

This Little joke may help you to recover, if only to

get to the Club and tell me off. Here goes.:-

What did the baby corn say to the Mama corn “where’s poppa corn” . Feel Better? Knew that would help !

Red and Purple Day. The inaugural event was held in 1986 and it was proposed as an enticement to

encourage new Members to the Club, while at the same time enabling all participants to enjoy a fun day,

so founder and creator of the event, Bert Morris, designed the red and purple colour scheme, one colour for

north of the river and the other for south,., He then also added the Prize money of $50 as more incentive.

Stuart then took over when Bert moved back to Finley. It has grown since then with Stuart, and son Craig

taking over then later down the track, Greg Mooney and Tommy Morris came on board making the prize

money at the present time $200. This prize money is spread amongst both Winners and Losers. So you are

a Winner just by playing.

Speaking about PURPLE

Is this Ray Roberts AKA

Elton Purple. Wonder if he can

sing? Maybe we could find out

at the Christmas party. Or he

might related to Alvin Purple?

Nah he couldn’t sing. Has to be

Elton. Available for autographs.

Friends come in all

shapes and sizes and

you can never have too

many

Great to see Merv Altmann pop in for a visit last week. We all wish you the very best. Take it easy, we missed your smiling face. For all who are suffering any type of illness we hope your recovery is quick and complete.

This joke was sent to me by an

old school friend, we met when

we were 5 years old (thats

around 120 years ago). She is a

Police Widow and is involved

in writing articles for N Qld

QRPA police magazine. This

gives her the right to tell Cop

jokes.

A Guy was taking his new Mercedes for a drive, quiet

night, top down, thought he’d just open her up. Big time.

Suddenly, he noticed in the rear view the red and blue

flashing lights. He pulled over. The Cop came up ,

inspected his licence and the car and said “Ïts been a long

day, the end of my shift and I don’t feel like more paper-

work, so if you can give me a reason that I haven’t heard

before as to why you were speeding, you can go “

The Guy thinks for a second and says “Last week my wife

ran off with a Cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her

back “Have a nice week-end said the Officer” .

This is a photograph of Our Phil in Uniform in 1986. Phil Powell is currently the Clubs’ Board of Management Secretary and Men’s Com-mittee Secretary, he is also the Creator and Master of the Club’s Web site. Phil grew up in the Victorian Western Town of Mortlake. He joined the RAAF at the age of 17, after completing Form 10 at High School. Following Recruit training he was stationed at East Sale, Vic, Darwin N.T. Canberra ACT, Newcastle NSW, Amberley QLD, then Air Force recruiting in Townsville, back to Canberra. In January 1988, after 20 years of Service Phil left the Air Force.

He was a Steward for 4 years then in Administration for 16 years reaching the rank of Flight Sergeant. He married Kris (ex WRAAF) in 1970 and they have two Children and two Grand Children. They moved to Caboolture in 1988 and that’s when Phil joined the Public Service and be-came an Administrative Service Officer for the Taxation Department and in 1989 He commenced working with the Child Support Agency, then in 2007 due to his medical condition, Phil was invali-dated out of the Public Service and retired from the work force. The Family moved to Burpengary in 1992. Phil’s battle with cancer commenced in January 1998 after two operations for removal of the cancer from his tongue and radiation, another procedure was required in 2001 this time cancer was removed from his bottom jaw. Phil has been on a liquid only diet since 1998. For a decade Phil en-joyed ten pin bowling, but had a hankering to try Lawn Bowls, he decided to do that, just prior to turning 60. He had met Tony and Betty Goodwin in Darwin in 1972, so He came to the Lakes for a trial run with Stu Morris as his Coach. He regrets not joining lawn bowls earlier, but is thankful he did not leave it any later. He enjoys the game and the rest is history.

This Months Profile

This is a story ‘bout a trip up North We’re Kevy and Danny & we went on a trip

On Kingaroy’s Green we both had a slip

The Green was so fast

Our bowls sped right past

The morning was cold and very foggy

We were goose bumpy & a bit“Groggy “

Geoff and Joe shared our room

With never a moment of gloom

Oh wait, there was one little flaw

And that was Geoff..He could really snore

Causing paint removal and

a hole in the door.

We then high tailed it to the Biloela Club

Where Members were friendly

On the Green and the Pub

Those Country Folk play so well

For us, They created a sort of bowls hell

We played o k for most of the day, then

sadly, it was time to say ...“hurray “

So just forgive this terrible rhyme

Fact is...We had a good time.

We also popped out to the Theodore Club,

where flowers are grown on the green,

Lindsay Ross’s old stomping ground.

We met with great hospitality everywhere

Our new Bowls Shirts

Our Division 3 Pennant Team

Photographed: in no particular order, due to the fact the so

called photographer was being distracted by one, Dave

Thomson.from the peanut gallery. Here we go:- Ron Clune,

Lloyd Cuthbert, Barry Briggs, Dennis Parsons, Peter

McDonald, Ollie Halvorsen, Kevie

Chapman and Lionel Nolan. Missing was

Ted Randall. I was tempted to add a “P”

to Dave’s name to teach him a lesson.

Umpire for the Game on the day was

Dave Mills.

Latest news hot off the press...

THEY WON... Three cheers

Dot was in Cairns recently barracking for her Grandson, Mark, who was playing

Soccer in the Nationals, He only plays for Caboolture, and to be chosen shows his

dedication an ability for the sport.

Kaye and Tim McInerney just finished a pleasurable stint minding Grand children.

Whether it be Children, Grand Children, Nephews, Nieces, puppies or kittens, most of

us enjoy the privilege of taking care of them. Then of course, the other side is obvi-

ous in the tale below. Just gotta have a laugh.

Ladies are commencing their Pennant practice this

Wednesday July 31. Mandy Deans and Mirth Morris

are back on the green Wednesdays. Good to see them

playing. Daphne Stoneham has recovered from her

hospital stay and is back bowling. Wonderful news

Sausage sizzle was popular at the Red and Purple Day

We were indeed thrilled to have had Shirley and

Frank Simek from the Burnie Club in Tasmania

playing bowls with us, truly lovely couple. Shirley

presented Dot with a note pad depicting their

Club Logo. The Couple were house sitting in the

area. We will miss their Company, and we hope

they will be returning soon. They will always be

welcome at Caboolture Lakes.

A Few Excerpts from those

Church Ladies with Typewriters.

These sentences actually appeared in

Church Bulletins or were announced

during Service.

Ladies don’t forget the rummage sale.

Its a chance to get rid of things not

worth keeping around the house. Bring

your husbands.

Miss Charlene Mason sang “I will not

pass this way again” giving obvious

pleasure to the Congregation.

At the evening Service tonight, the

Sermon topic will be “What is Hell”

Come early and listen to our Choir

practice.

Fasting and Prayer Conference in-

cludes meals.
