Last Saturday our Men’s Pennants team played against Pelican Waters Bowls Club which resulted in a 19 points draw and a 21 to 23 point loss. Pelican Waters won the day 42 points to our 40 points. We are now running in 3rd position on the ladder. This Saturday 24 August we are playing against Yandina Bowls Club who are currently leading the competition.
Did you know that Maleny Bowls Club welcomes new bowlers with no previous experience who would like to try our sport. We provide free bowls to use to play your game and ensure that your experience is fun and challenging. All that is required are flat soled shoes and a positive attitude.
More experienced bowlers are also welcome as we know that all lawn bowlers are fabulous people. We also encourage families to attend with junior bowls available for children from the age of 5. Hand eye co-ordination is the name of the game and the younger ones have that in spades.
Bowls Clubs are also a very sociable meeting place for non bowlers who may not be as active as they once were. We operate solely by volunteers and welcome people who can assist in all areas of the club including bowls green preparation, bar and kitchen duties as well as gardening. So why not pay us a visit.
