Welcoming Pacific Islander Members

In this week’s sports update, Home Hill Bowls is pleased to welcome their Pacific Islander members who have joined for this year’s season. The club invites everyone to participate in Wednesday night bowls, which will begin at 6:30 pm. Participants are asked to sign up by 6:00 pm at the club.

Lisa, originally from Papua New Guinea, shared her thoughts on the sport during a recent conversation. When asked about bowls in her homeland, Lisa explained that there are bowls clubs in Papua New Guinea, and one man from Mount Argum even traveled to Brisbane to play. While watching the bowlers in action, Lisa mentioned her desire to try the sport. She noted that many people find their first game of bowls quite addictive, something she has experienced firsthand after participating in the Wednesday night sessions. The friendly atmosphere and welcoming people have made her experience enjoyable. Last week, Lisa was part of the winning team, and the club wishes her a successful year ahead.

A friendly reminder that club competitions are underway, with the open fours semi-finals and the open club pairs competitions approaching. Members are asked to check who they are scheduled to play and arrange their match times accordingly.

What's on at the club this week:

Monday: 9:00 am - Low Impact Exercise
Tuesday: 9:00 am - Trimmers
Wednesday: 9:00 am - 11:00 am - Arts & Crafts; 6:00 pm - Wednesday Night Bowls
