The Central Coast Women's District Bowling Association held three special Veteran's Day events in August.
The first was held at Umina Bowling Club on Friday, August 26.
A total of 84 players attended the day from clubs including Everglades Country Club, Ettalong Memorial Club and Woy Woy Bowling Club.
Lilian Weber from Woy Woy and Ruth Winser from Umina were presented with their Star Super Veterans badges to celebrate reaching the age of 90 in the last 12 months.
Six Peninsula residents also received their Super Veterans badge for turning 80-years-old this year.
Dot Craber from Umina, Patricia Wallis, Jean Carroll and Phyl Ridley from Everglades, and Miriam Cotton and Gwenda Magnus from Woy Woy were among those to receive their Super Veterans Badge.
Awards were also presented to the youngest and oldest veterans with Merry Skinner from Woy Woy announced the youngest veteran, after she turned 70 only seven days before the celebration.
