To commemorate this outstanding milestone, family and relatives from Bathurst, Mudgee, Forbes, Young and Sydney gathered at “Strayleaves” (Elegant Accommodation) in Weddin Street on Saturday July 5.
Dorothy and Ron were married on July 7 1954 in the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Grenfell with the late Rev Clifford Ussher officiating.
Marj Hogden, Dorothy’s sister and Victor Lamkin, Ron’s brother were their attendants.
Dorothy and Ron received congratulations from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove, Prime Minister Tony Abbott, local and State MPs as well as many more.
Congratulations to nineteen year old Blake Bradtke, who for the second year in a row was successful in winning the Major Singles.
Blake up against a very strong Steve Galvin, got away to lead 9-1. Steve hit back and was in front till the last few ends.
A determined Blake fought on to get back in front and won the Singles championship 31-29.
Congratulations to Blake on a gutsy win in very cool and unpleasant conditions. Well done Blake. Proud parents are Barry and Sharyn.
