Aberdeen Bowling Club must be extremely proud of Marianne Meijer, who has been selected as a reserve for the Midlands Bowls Team to play in King Williams Town on the 22nd August 2008.
Marianne is a relatively new resident of Aberdeen. She bought a house in Aberdeen in 2005 and in 2007 she decided to take an early retirement as Matron of False Bay Hospital, to settle here.
Marianne has only been playing bowls since 9th August 2007 when she was invited to join in a fun day open tournament, and despite her first time playing bowls, she was in the winning team. She now plays regularly every Wednesday and Saturday at the club, in competitions and in away tournaments in Cradock, Jansenville, Nieu Bethesda and Somerset East.
Marianne says that she wishes that she had started playing bowls earlier in life, she really enjoys the social aspect of the game, meeting new people and being out in the fresh air.
Marianne is wished the very best of luck in the coming tournament...
