The Internations 31st Carnival will this year be held at Doubleview Bowling Club.
on the 2nd and 3rd of May, as usual the Carnival will consist of eight teams of 16,
Australia, Croatia, England, Italy, Ireland, New Zealand, Rest of the World, and
Scotland.
The march out and welcome is at 8.30 and play starts at 9.15, four games
are played on Saturday and three on Sunday finishing at 3.30 for the presentation.
Each Country has its own shirts and bowls stickers and presents a colourful
spectacle.
The first competion was in 1979 and consisted of six nationalities from an idea of
John Mather only two of the originals still participate, John Mather and Jim Bell.
The original Australian team consisted of 15 State or former state representatives
three of whom were internationals, the other teams read like a whos who of bowls
in W.A.
The original and present concept is to foster goodwill between the players of the
different nationalities (a very competitive weekend with lots of humour) over the
past 14 years due to the generousity of Sponcers, Player, Clubs and Supporters
donations have been made to the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children
totaling over $40,000, this is P.M.Hs 100 year aniversary and we hope to make it
special, come and see.
