We also celebrated our 30 years of Gateball with a long lunch a wonderful cake. Sandra Townley (Epping) gave a brief history of early players in the first 10 years. John Park spoke of the Canberra group that were active in early 20 year mark. A special mention of Glen Whitehead who has assisted in producing the draws in every state and national events, developing Gateball scores, and of course winning the trophy. I am particularly thankful for his talent.

I would like to thank the wonderful Nowra Croquet Club members who made the day so successful. The tournament would not have run as smoothly without their ongoing support. Special Thank you to Manuel and Glenda Gutierrez who organised everything. Thank you to the fantastic members that assisted with the wonderful food available every day. To the members that helped on the lawn thank you. Hope you all enjoyed the games.
