17.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who came together to celebrate our 60th birthday party last night. You all looked fantastic - and many fond memories were shared about a patch of hallowed turf and a little old shed out the back of Vesteys Reserve that holds a permanent place in so many hearts. A big shout out to all of those who volunteered their time and contributed in every way, large and small. It was a tremendous effort throughout - and is testament to the thousands of volunteer hours that have come before us. May the next 60 years be full of the laughter, love and generous spirit that have made us what we are today.

15.01.2022 "My first recollection of Darwin Bowls Club was when my father took me... I was instructed not to walk on the rubber green as it could be extremely hot, and still contained metal shards from when the tyres were shredded" - Rod Smith.
