Canberra Nationals 2024
On Tuesday, 4th June, 19 people ventured to Canberra to participate in the National Championships.
The bowlers were off to a slow start, understandably so, seeing as they had not bowled since April, but then they picked up the pace.
And it was cold.
On Wednesday, Candice bowled a series of 18 pins over average.
Thursday saw Lauren bowl 28 over, Tim – 25, Emma M – 24, Natham – 19.
On Friday, Amy bowled 18 over, Lauren 18, Gerry 16, Natham 15, with a turkey in a game of 160, and Tim scored a turkey in a game of 122. Seeing we had a long break between squads, we visited Questacon, and some of us went for a long walk to stretch our legs.
On Saturday, we had a later start, so members had a sleep-in except for those who went to the spa and went for a walk.
Scores are as follows: Lauren was 44 pins over average, including a turkey, in a game of 163; Emma M was 16 over; Natham was 15 over with a turkey in a game of 165; and Adam had a turkey in a game of 188.
Overall, our bowlers did very well and now looking forward to visiting Perth in 2025.

2013 Rockets Presentation Evening
Saturday, 25th November 2023, saw The Rockets wine and dine at Magpies Waitara for their Presentation Evening.
The menu comprised roast pork and crackling, satay chicken, honey mustard beef, vegetable and salad dishes and finished off with pavlova and profiteroles.
The bowlers had a wonderful time dressing up in hats, glasses, and hula skirts (thanks, Lucy, for the outfits) for the photo booth and sang along with the jukebox and karaoke.
Bowlers were presented with their trophies and a Bowlers Survival Kit, which comprised a grip sack, chocolate bar, body freshener, workout towel and a gift card enclosed in a handmade “purse” (thanks, Jo).
The parents did not miss out this year – they were presented with a Parents Survival Kit with many amusing items.
The 2024 Committee was presented, and the Clark Award was won by Amy, with Natham second and Lauren third. All positions were tightly contested, some bowlers only separated by a point or two.
The Committee would like to wish all our Members a very Happy Christmas and a safe New Year.
See you in January 2024.
