Home Hill Community Sports Club Re-Emerges

Welcome to the Home Hill Community Sports Club’s new Monthly Round Up!
From the times of hardship to today, members of the Home Hill Community Sports Club have rejuvenated the facility to encourage new members to join.
A haven for lawn bowlers young and old, the recently refurbished Rummeny Green remains a popular surface for social bowls on a Wednesday night while the more competitive take to the green on Thursday afternoons, with weekend bowls soon to be introduced.
The last bowl was sent down the old rink by Joe Linton on Friday, September 15, 2023, before 14 players and club members began the dusty and dirty task of ripping up the carpet and clearing out the drainage ditches surrounding the green the next morning.
The new green, made possible by Sports and Recreation Queensland funding, heralds a new era for the Home Hill Community Sports Club as the club is now registered with Bowls North Queensland, with members looking forward to representing their club in the upcoming Pennants tournament.
Bowlers Mick McCloskey, Trevor Elton, Garry Nosworthy, Wayne Newton, Alex Bojack, Joe Linton, Terry Fenkes, Warren Bunn and reserves Bob Pickard and John Hall all look forward to travelling to Townsville’s Suburban Bowls Club to compete from Friday, May 31 To Sunday, June 2.
Exciting times await the Home Hill Community Sports Club, formerly known as the Home Hill Bowling Club, first opening in 1930.
The club has a function room and a licensed bar area, hosting regular community events including bingo, craft and fitness – check out ‘What’s Up At The Club’ below to learn more!
Those requiring assistance with transport are asked to contact the club.
The club also wishes to thank its generous sponsors for their support.
The Home Hill Community Sports Club is about to enter an exciting new chapter and looks forward to inviting you to join.
The clubhouse is located at 87 Ninth Avenue, Home Hill, and can be contacted at 0468 313 115 or homehillcsc@gmail.com.
