First Birthday (Again)
We know what you’re thinking — “didn’t the Bowlo already have a first birthday?” Well . . . yes, almost 70 years ago, but between interruptions, timing and new management, we think the club deserves another crack at it! It was just over a year ago when the new committee got the keys so its YOUR Bowlo's first birthday.
Join us on Sunday the 2nd of November for a big First Birthday celebration (again). The day will feature:
Entertainment
Food
The Street vs Street - Barefoot Bowls Competition Final
And much more
Keep an eye out for more details soon — it’s shaping up to be a great afternoon at the Bowlo.

Volunteers Needed
The Bowlo relies on the support of its members, and we’re currently looking for extra volunteers to help out with a few key roles. If you hold an RSA, have food handling experience, or are able to assist with building access and opening/closing duties, we’d love to hear from you. Training and guidance will be provided where needed, and your help makes a huge difference in keeping the club running smoothly. To get involved, please contact the Club Manager.
