LONG-SERVING contributors to lawn bowls across the region have been recognised in the December round of the $10,000 Warramunda Community Care Bowler of the Year Award.
December winners were Sandy Thomas (Mooroopna), Helen Chapman (Kyabram), Archie Ellis (Barooga), Robert Clough (Bendigo East), and Robert Jackson (Talbot).
The monthly award recognises on- and off-rink contributions, with two bowlers selected from each of the five playing areas. Since launching in October, 82 bowlers from 43 clubs have been nominated, with 30 recipients recognised so far.
Five runners-up also received $100 vouchers from Moama Bowling Club: Pam Pedder (Avenel), Cindy Felmingham (Lockington), Greg Bar (Katandra West), Daniel Giddings (Avoca), and Ron Douglas (Harcourt).
Warramunda Community Care CEO John Clark said the award also helped raise awareness of changes to in-home aged care services.
