Willy Silk workshops, a new ride-on mower, and AC Regional Doubles at Sunnyside

Recently we had Willy Silk from Brisbane conduct several workshops on Association play in the Wide Bay region. Members who attended said they enjoyed the morning and learnt plenty.

Our club now has a new ride on mower. Several members are learning how to use it.

We are in the process of organising a new storage shed for our playing equipment for which we received a grant of $20,000.

On 17 May we held the AC Regional Doubles at the Bundaberg Club and Sunnyside coordinated the day. Two Sunnyside members won a second (Brian) and third place (Judy).
