Andrew,
I think I speak for all of the Gold Coast Association especially the players and support staff, when I say without your undying support and tireless work the event would not be nearly as successful as this year turned out to be. You and your team should be very proud of what you achieved.
To our Girls team, you once again preformed fantastically well and you should all take pride in your achievement. It is not easy to put up as a target by your competition every year and not only beat off the challengers but also do whilst displaying the sportsmanship and team spirit this event is built upon. A job well done.
To the men's team, again a fantastic effort, you all showed the toughness and heart that has become a Gold Coast tradition in this event, we more than held our own against the other teams winning all but 3 of our games.
My special thanks go out to Luke for his invaluable assistance on the lanes, and your motivational pep talk, I personally think you would make a great Team Captain, should the position become vacant, remember I am near retirement age.
To Darryl, man I do love you but not in the way you think, all weekend you stood up to the challenge and where very unlucky not to win an ALL STAR place (less than 20 pins), to be honest if we had rested you for a game on Sunday, you would have been a certainty or maybe the captain had put you in the line up on game 1, sorry mate.
To Anthony, Charlie, Ray and Craig again you guys just rock, all weekend you displayed the type of sportsmanship and team camaraderie that the Gold Coast is renowned for. It was an absolute honour to play with you all (Darryl again not what you think).
If any one has any team photo's I am willing to frame them free of charge for you, just leave them (all copies) in a sealed envelope (marked private attention Jim Murray) at Ashmore bowl. Please note that this process does take some time and it may be a few weeks, months or even years before you get them back
