ident Phyl Edwards who recently
celebrated her 103rd birthday
with family members.

Joining Phyl on her special day were
her 19 great grandchildren.

Born in 1917, she has experienced
many changes - from horse cabs
and trams that passed her Haberfield
home and also attending the opening
of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Phyl has lived in Ryde for 75 years
and was married to her husband
Roy, a builder, who built many homes
in the Ryde area when the district
comprised of market gardens and
cow paddocks. She was very ac-
tive throughout the years and played
tennis until the age of 80. Phyl vol-
unteered her services at school can-
teens, church fetes and was involved
in craft knitting groups that worked
tirelessly for charities. She has a
sharp memory and a great attitude to
life and is an inspiration to all her fam-
ily and friends. Congratulations Phyl.

Bowler Don is North Ryde Club champ

NORTH Ryde RSL Bowling Club stalwart Don Hope (left) was recently presented
with his 2019 Club Champion trophy. He received his award from Bowls President
Barry Gibson (right) at the Club’s Cox’s Road Mall sponsored Presentation Day.
As the North Ryde Bowls Secretary for many years, Don is a key member of the
committee and well respected for managing a tight ship.

DURING a successful North Ryde RSL Bowling Club Presentation Day a proud Dave
Nelson (centre) was presented with Life Membership by North Ryde RSL Club Presi-
dent Jim Morris (right), accompanied by Bowls President Barry Gibson (left). Dave also
featured as skip of the Club Fours Championship-winning team for 2019 - a position
