Mens Bowls

The club opened in September 1963 one of the license provisions required for a sports club so it was decided to have lawn bowls. The club started with one green, the second green was opened in 1982.

We host three major tournaments are held every year being: -

• The Don Wallace Fours held in the first week in August
• The Hat Head Triples held in mid September
• Mixed Pairs held in November

These tournaments attract many top bowlers from around the state and interstate.
