Matriarch badge to Olive

POMONA BOWLS
Pomona Bowling Ladies helped Olive MacKellar celebrate her 90th birthday with a special luncheon and yummy birthday cake, where Olive was presented with her Matriarch badge.
She has lived in the Pomona area all her life and is a well-known local identity.
Olive has been a stalwart of the club since joining up in 1975, and over the years has served as treasurer, games director for 12 years, president in 1993 and club patron since 2012.
In 1996 she was honoured with a life membership.
Olive still enjoys an occasional game of bowls, and has been a very competitive player during her 42 years of bowling.
She has won many club championships as well as playing fours in the State Carnival in the 1990s and making the last eight teams in the State Pairs.
The club wishes Olive many more years of bowling.
