A LONG running bowls tradition has found a new home on the Sunshine Coast, with Glass House Country Bowls Club hosting its first Over 60s bowls day on Tuesday, March 31.
The successful event saw 64 players take to the green for two competitive games of 12-end fours, continuing a format that has been enjoyed by bowlers for more than 35 years.
Despite patchy weather throughout the day, play continued uninterrupted, with participants travelling from across the region to be part of the inaugural Glass House-hosted event.
Club members turned out in strong numbers, with five teams representing the host venue, contributing to a lively and social atmosphere both on and off the green.
Organisers extended their thanks to visiting players and those who donated raffle prizes, which added to the day’s community spirit. Winners of the raffles were also congratulated.
Special acknowledgement was given to Brian Squires for his role in bringing the event to the club, along with the many volunteers who helped ensure the day ran smoothly.
Following the strong turnout, organisers are hopeful the Over 60s bowls days will continue, with three more Tuesday events planned at Glass House later this year, pending favourable conditions.
