All-Women Tournament

Looks like Women's Lib has come to indoor bowls. For the first time in Nelson, a tournament for women's fours was held. And very successfully, too. It appears the event will become an annual one. However, there were a few men involved in running the tournament.

One of the oldest players was 76-year-old Mrs M. Pettit of Toi Toi

Watching the result of her shot is another veteran, Mrs E. Gill, 76, of Wakefield

And here goes a winner. Concentration shows on the face of Mrs B. Fox, Unilever

Opposing skips, Mary Davenport, Stoke, and Grace Della Bosca, United, spare a moment for the camera

Intently watching play are Audrey Canter, Tahuna, Mary Ferris, Golden Links, and Nola Laity, Golden Links

Marcia Reeves, Stoke, plays a shot

Conferring over the head are Richmond players Maisie Barron and Skip Helen Murray

"Where's that going?" Mrs J. Anicich, one of a Hope four, watches her shot go down the mat
