An exhibition of artwork by the Toowoomba
Art Group will be on display at the Rosalie
Gallery in Goombungee from November 16 to
December 11.
TAG was formed by friends from South-West
Queensland, who, at various stages, swapped
busy years of farming for an easier lifestyle
in urban retirement - and found it left a gap in
some of their lives.
For many years several members of this
group had painted together, mostly with the art
groups at Glenmorgan and Miles.
The Glenmorgan Art Group celebrated 50
years in 2020, and two of its founding members
will be represented in the Rosalie Gallery
exhibition.
With a wonderful grounding in art from
Mervyn Moriarty’s Flying Art School plus other
art seminars and workshops, they have held
many exhibitions together and individually.
After moving to town, it wasn’t long before
two or three started to meet at each other’s

homes armed with painting gear, and, as more
joined in, eventually the need was felt to formalise
the group to be known as what? ‘TAG’
seemed a no-brainer.
Bush Connections will be the first time the
group’s work has been shown in one place.
Subject matter will be mostly landscape and
still life in a variety of mediums including oil,
acrylic, pastel, watercolour and photography -
and you can participate in some very interesting
ephemeral work.
The community is invited to the Meet the Artists
Day on November 19 between 10.30am and
3.30pm.
It will be jacaranda time in Goombungee, so
come and enjoy the art and the flowers. There
are many choices for tasty refreshments in the
area, make a day of it!

Qld success in tenpin premier league
Maroon flags are flying high
as the Queensland bowling community
celebrates the stunning
success of its competitors in
the inaugural Tenpin Premier
League series.
In the third and last TPL
event for this year, 20-year-old
Cameron Stein from Highfields
clinched the TPL Melbourne
Decider title with a thrilling
perfect score in the innovative
five-frame final against fellow
Queenslander Jamie Robinson
from Mount Ommaney.
“I am over the moon. I was
just taking it shot by shot and
trying to really enjoy being out
there even in such a high-pressure
situation,” said Stein following
his win.
“Bowling against Jamie in the
finals really did help as we could
have that friendly banter which
really did ease any nerves.”
A points system introduced
for the TPL series had opened
the door for Robinson to overtake
the winner of the two previous
TPL events, 25-year-old Jarrod
Langford from Ayr in North
Queensland.
However, when Stein stormed
home for the decisive win
against Robinson, Langford
emerged victorious as the inaugural
TPL series champion with
a commanding series points tally.
“That last game was two of
the best youth bowlers in the
country smashing it out, and I
just got lucky,” Langford admitted
with a grin.
Queensland’s clean sweep
of TPL titles followed recent
success for senior Queensland
bowlers at the TBA50 event
held at Wyncity Keon Park in
Melbourne.
This included Tony Hamilton’s
300 game and gold medal
win with Brian Olsen in the
men’s doubles, Karen Smith’s
gold medal in the Classic Cup
and a gold medal performance
by Team Queensland, Karen
Smith, Suz Wenzel, Brian Olsen
and Tony Hamilton, in the inaugural
TBA50 Teams Matchplay
event.
“It’s certainly been an exciting
display of the talent of
Queensland bowlers of all ages,”
TBAQ CEO Gail Torrens said
proudly.
Torrens, too, has recently
been selected as a finalist in
the administrator of the year
category of the upcoming 2022
Queensland Sport Awards.
