2013 GRADE 3 FLAG UNFURLING
2013 GRADE 3 FLAG UNFURLING
Ettalong Memorial had their Grade 3 Flag unfurling on Friday 24th May. Ettalong President Kris Osborne welcomed District President Pat Frewin, Region 6 Representative Lesley Swales, Canton Beach President Margaret Dixon and her ladies, Representatives of the Club Ltd and Mens Club and her own Ettalong players and members. Also present was Aron Sherrif.
After a delicious morning tea of home made cakes it was time to unfurl the flag. This had to be done indoors because of the weather. This did not upset anyone as a contingency plan was put in place. The Winning Ettalong Grade 3 players and Runners up Canton Beach adjourned to the rear of the auditorium. District Pres.Pat & Ettalong Pres.Kris lead the winners, Regional Rep.Lesley and Canton Beach Pres.Margaret lead the runners up through a guard of honour down the centre of the auditorium. The flag was attached to the bottom of the 'movie screen' and as the screen was raised so was the flag. Well done. Each of the winning Ettalong players were then presented with their badges, certificates and photos[taken on the day they won the flag]. The Canton Beach players were presented with a certificate and photo.
After photo's the official part of the day was over. As there was no bowls everyone chatted and enjoyed each others company.
