Lower North Coast Bowls Event
Members and their friends from within the Lower North Coast Sub-Branches continued on from last November’s golf event with a lawn bowls challenge geld at the Taree City Institute Bowling Club on Sunday, 28th March. The Challenge Cup was between the Wingham RSL Sub-Branch and Nabiac RSL Sub-Branch. The much more experienced team from Wingham kept their bowls tight and took the honours for the day in a highly spirited and joyous day on the green. Sports coordinator Arthur Chapman was impressed in the manner to which the day went. Arthur indicated that RSL NSW CEO Jon Black’s initiative to get Sub Branches out and enjoy themselves, whilst networking with other Sub-Branches, can only be a positive in the battle against isolation issues that affect veterans in society. Arthur said that days like today and the previous golf day had put the wheels in motion for more inter-sub-branch activities with RSL NSW jurisdiction. Members are encouraged to invite like-minded friends to these events as it’s not a prerequisite to be a member of any RSL NSW Sub-Branch. Lower North Coast District Council President, Brian Willey, a member of the Wingham winning foursome, acknowledged the day was positive and successful, with some great friendships coming out of the day. A follow up sports challenge will happen in June with a rumour that it will be tenpin bowling.

Old Bar Sub Branch put on a Sport & Recreation Social Day on the 14th of January. Wingham RSL sub Branch put a team together and went along to participate in their event. A great day was had by all – Ron Irwin was runner up in the Bocce competition – the rest of us didn’t perform so well but we had a great day.
