Welcome to the NQDLBA Open Championships for 2021 On behalf of the North Queensland Ladies Bowling Association, I sincerely thank all those competitors who have nominated to play in our 2021 NQDLBA Open Championships. It is pleasing to note the many bowlers who are attending for the first time and a welcome back to those bowlers who regularly attend our Open Championships.

In honour of the late Gail Ericson, her family has donated prize money for the NQ Open Championship Pairs and the NQ Open Championship Fours. Gail was a great favourite and good friend amongst the bowling fraternity in North Queensland. Gail won the 2014 Open Pairs with her mate, Sue Brady, and was Runner-up in 2012 and 2016 again with Sue. In

2011 and 2014 Gail was part of the winning Fours’ team, skipped by Sue, and was Runner-up in 2015 with the same team.

I wish all players good bowling and good sportsmanship and look forward to meeting up with new and old friends.

Gwen Thomas - NQDLBA President

THANK YOU NQDLBA sincerely thank Dione Mostert for her generous sponsorship of the Pairs and Fours events in honour of her late mother Gail Ericson.

We also give thanks to Helen Bosworth & Fitzgerald’s Funerals who have been dedicated supporters of bowls to all Clubs within the North Queensland District for many years.

We also would like to acknowledge the hardworking volunteers of South Townsville, Suburban, Jubilee & Thuringowa Bowls Clubs who generously give up so much of their time.

We express our deep gratitude to the Host Clubs for making these Championships possible.

We would also like to thank the Umpires, Scorers, Markers and all those who we may have inadvertently left out of this program.
