Waipa¯ Lodge No 119 held a morning tea at the end of last year to present a cheque to Casting for Recovery to cover the costs of a camp which was held this month. Mary Karl from Casting for Recovery received the donation from Waipa¯ Mayor Jim Mylchreest, who presented it on behalf of the Lodge. Mary gave short description of the work that Casting for Recovery does for women who are suffering from breast cancer. Casting for Recovery arranges camps where the women can come together for a weekend of pampering, care — and fishing. It originated in the USA and was introduced to New Zealand in 1996. The February camp was the fourth at Wharepapa South’s Castle Rock — a venue which has proved to be an ideal place for the retreat, in a quiet natural setting.

BY BETHANY ROLSTON

The Te Awamutu Bowling Club greens were buzzing with women from all around the North Island for the annual Betty Gibson Women’s 2-Day Classic. Betty Gibson was a stalwart of the club and was highly involved in the tournament — now in its ninth year — before passing away in 2017. The tournament was renamed after Betty to honour the work she did to develop the successful format for the popular two-day event. It was a special event for Betty’s sister Dot Curry, of Ham- ilton, who joined a team of Te Awamutu bowlers for the tournament. “It was a thrill to play,” Dot says. “Three of the ladies that used to play with Betty rang me from Te Awamutu and asked me if I would like to join them and play, which was very nice of them,” she says. “During the tournament a lot Te Awamutu Bowling Club greens were buzzing with action on day of people were talking about two of the Betty Gibson Women’s 2-Day Classic.
