Green Island Bowling Club

SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER 2024

WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBER – we would love to extend a warm welcome to our new full member Graeme Hawkins.  He is joining us from Outram Bowling Club.  We look forward to seeing you on and off the green. 

SOCIAL EVENTS – thank you to everyone that came along to Ten Pin Bowling.  It was great to see so many of you enjoying the game, having a laugh, and dishing out lots of sledging while playing a different form of bowling for a change 😊 


Our next event is Petanque which is happening on Sunday 15th September at 1:30pm at the Caversham Petanque Club.  This event is free of charge.


The final event for the Winter Social Calendar will be lunch at Cableways on Sunday 22nd September.  We will ask for numbers for this shortly so please keep an eye out for the email.


TWILIGHT BOWLS3FIVE – we are planning on running this during February next year.  This will be on a Monday night again for four weeks.  We will be keeping the same format of at least 1 non-bowler per team.


OPENING DAY – this will be on Saturday 5th October at 1:30pm beginning with a roll up (weather permitting) followed by afternoon tea.  Please bring a plate to share.


HAVE A GO DAY – once again, we will be having the “Have a Go Day” the day after Opening Day so please invite all your friends and family, neighbours and anyone else to come along and give our fantastic sport a go.  This will be on Sunday 6th October starting at 11am and will include a BBQ lunch.  Let’s show off our club and the fantastic people that are part of it too.


WORKING BEE – there will be a green working bee on Monday 23rd September at 9am.  Please let Allan Bates know if you are able to help.


CORINGS AVAILABLE – there are still plenty of corings available so come along with a trailer and grab some great dirt for your garden.  It’s free of charge – just help yourself from the pile in the carpark by the garage.
