GILLIAN Tweddle and Thelma Moresi have been honoured with life membership of the Boort Bowls Club while Ruth Hall on Friday night was given the same honour by Wedderburn.
Both Gillian and Thema joined the club in 1988, and both have served in administrative roles as well as winning numerous titles on the greens.
Gillian has been club president and spent 11 years on the regional board including being elected to the presidency.
She has won four pennant titles as a player, taken out the club fours seven times and the club championship twice.
Gillian also won the 60-plus state pairs with Roma Cain in 2015-2016 at NCPA level.
Thelma won the ladies’ B grade championship in 1993-94 and has been part of five mid-week and Saturday pennant victories.
Her list of achievements is impressive – 10 club singles titles, singles Champion of Champions twice, 12 club pairs championships along with two Champion of Champions awards, 15 club fours titles and three-time Champion of Champions.
Thelma has also made successful regional representative teams numerous times.
Off the green, among her roles has been 22 years on the match committee, 19 years as publicity officer and ladies’ tournament secretary for 12 years.
WEDDERBURN Bowling Club legend Ruth Hall has been awarded life membership, joining her husband Ian Hall in achieving the accolade.  Ruth in February won the Champion of Champions trophy for North Central bowls, the pinnacle of her sporting career. She joined the club in 1990 and won her first championship in 1994-95, taking out the ladies’ pairs with Wilma Andrews.
Ruth won the pairs again the following year and has notched up 11 wins in that category. She collected the club championship for the first time in 1990-2000, with 12 other victories to follow.
And that’s not all – add nine club triples titles, nine fours champion wins, 10 handicap singles titles, and the mixed pairs with her husband in 2023-24.
Ruth has also served in various club roles off the rinks, which makes her life membership “well deserved and well overdue”, as the club citation read.
