25.01.2022 GREAT NEWS!! All our staff tests are back and they are all negative This means we are back and flinging open the doors at 10am TOMORROW All areas are open including the bistro, cafe and sports bar ... Woodbine Tourist Park is open and for our registered bowlers - Twilight Bowls is back tomorrow night! We cannot thank you all enough for your support Lakes Entrance. Let’s get the rest of the holiday season under way!! .

25.01.2022 We’re loving having you back at The Bowlo, but we don’t want you to miss out! Remember to give us a call and book your table before you visit. We’re open Thursdays 4pm-8:30pm... Fri & Sat 10am - 8:30pm Sunday’s 10am - 4pm Bookings open from 12noon Thursday’s 51553578

24.01.2022 What a year it’s been! And while we’re all delighted to have you back at the Bowlo, if 2020 has taught us anything it’s that family is the most important thing. That’s why this year, we’re sending our staff home to spend Christmas Day with their families.... We’ll be here for you right up until close on Christmas Eve, and we’ll be back on Boxing Day serving meals, drinks and sharing in the cheer. Dinner bookings highly recommended, we don’t want you to miss out!

23.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE for our members and visitors..... Remember back when we were all set to reopen and the guidelines changed from 50 guests per area to 20, overnight? At that time we decided that having already ordered stock, engaged staff and tapped the kegs, it was important to reopen and be there for our staff, our bowlers and our community. ... The expansion to 50 patrons per area seemed just around the corner at that time..... but oh how things have strung on! As part of our regular review of systems and guidelines, we have made a decision that we feel is in the best interest for our staff, our members and our community. The club will close again after lunch service today, Tuesday 21st July. Bowling will return to greens access only, for members only. As before, no facilities will open - please contact the bowls secretary for greens access. It’s important to note that this is in no way related to local news today, or any factors other than doing what we feel is best practice. We’re going to head back home, keep washing our hands and wear our masks in places we can’t distance, just like you. And then, when our region gets to open up a little more and welcome 50 guests per area (that’s 150 guests for us), we’ll be back. And we’ll be here for you just like we always have.... Thankyou for your ongoing support, thankyou for letting us be part of your day, your lunch and your evening meal. We can’t wait to see you again really soon. Michele Fielding General Manager *Please note that all current reservations and staff members are being contacted.

16.01.2022 Dear Members and guests... following changes to DHHS & Victorian Government regulations Wearing of masks indoors will be compulsory from 5pm 31/12/20 This means you must wear a mask AT ALL TIMES while moving about the club, unless sat to eat or drink. ... The club applies a No Mask No Entry policy in line with its rights under protection of staff and patrons. We ask that you treat staff with kindness and respect. It’s no fun wearing masks for them either and we simply have no choice but to implement the rules. We know this is a hassle after all we’ve gone through together, but let’s keep working together as we’ve done all 2020 and celebrate the new year safely. Cheers, and a Happy New Year to you & yours. Michele Fielding General Manager
