01 Dec 2017
Another impressive year during 2016-2017 saw a night of celebration to which we have become accustomed. We had planned on having Australia's greatest ever thrower Dani Stevens (nee Samuels) be our special guest however for only the third time in 16 years Dani was unavailable to attend due to International commitments. Instead we invited stars from the past to act as guest presenters: Paul Stickler, John Thornell, Sharyn Dickson and Matt Outzen did the honours and an enjoyable night ensued with 150 in attendance.
Our sincere thanks to the St Johns Park Bowling club who have for the last fourteen years hosted our function in their grand function room. Thanks as well to his Excellency Roberto Fromer (Brazil Consul General) for his presence in awarding the Adhemar Ferreira da Silva Scholarship and all the guests and sponsors listed below.
