Parkes Sporting Wrap Up

February 12, 2026 By Roxane Manley

The Parkes Sharks Swimming Club team who travelled to Lithgow to compete

Official Parkes Sharks Swimming Club

Parkes Sharks attended the Mountains and Plains Swimming summer champi­onship in Lithgow and they enjoyed great food, friends, and fun, with a little swim­ming on the side. An impressive 46 pbs, 6 gold medals, 15 silver and 18 bronze were won across only 20 swimmers. And a first assessment completed for Referee and Starter. What a cracking little club.

A massive thank you to all the parents jumping in with set up and pack down, timekeeping, and general good times.

Congratulations to Travis, Viv, Flo, Rup, Hudson, and Lincoln on competing and competing well at your very first Summer Champs. The first of many, no doubt, we are very proud of you.

Parkes Bowling And Sports Club

If you have arranged a game to be played, you must add this to the whiteboard at the club, so the green keepers are aware of these games being played. This is the player’s responsibility to add this to the whiteboard, if this is not added prior to your game, and once played, please send through results and any outstanding details of your game, so this can be shared.

Parkes Golf Club

The Coachman Hotel February monthly medal was held on Saturday. 82 players dodging a couple scattered showers. There was some great scoring, well done to all the winners on the day. It was great to see four members from Coolangatta tweed heads, where Zac used to be, fly down Friday and play the midweek comp and stayed for the monthly medal Saturday and left Sunday.

Great effort from them. We are sure they had a great time and loved the course.

Next Saturday Parkes Golf Club will have a 4 ball multiplier stableford and the 5th and final round of the summer comp sponsored by BWR Accountants.
