11.02.2022 Great to see Oakleigh Bowling Club hosting the Chadstone Toyota teams barefoot bowls evening. A Vietnamese food truck provided amazing food coupled with some drinks from the bar. If you'd like to have a barefoot bowls event please contact the club via facebook or our website: oakleighbowlingclub.com.au

23.01.2022 The Oakleigh Bowling Club hosts the Annexe Arts story telling each month on the last Tuesday. Everyone has a story so come along and share yours in this fun night out.

23.01.2022 Another round of the minor competition was played this afternoon and it saw another close and entertaining game between Jeff Mundy and Louise Saffigna. It was neck and neck before Jeff finally won the game after 32 ends 25-21. Great bowling from both players. Jeff moves into the final round and will play Steve Imvrios. Tim McLean is waiting in the final for the winner of this next match.

23.01.2022 Hello Fellow Club Members I hope you are all surviving this Lockdown in this very difficult time in our lives. The introduction of the latest COVID Stage 4 Restrictions which are now in force means that OBC can no longer remain open and its facilities cannot be used.... The Committee of Management (COM) has agreed that we must reluctantly close our Club's facilities and advise all members to stay away from the Club. This is a very sad situation but we must all recognize the seriousness of what is now classified as a Disaster and we must do our bit to prevent the spread of this virus. Please be advised that the Club's facilities in entirety are closed until further notice ( but it is expected until at least 14th September). This means you cannot bowl or even enter the Club property unless you have an urgent priority. We request that all members adhere to these new restrictions and make our own contribution to halting the spread of this virus. The COM extends its best wishes to all our members in this difficult time and we hope to all be together at the Club sometime in the future. Good luck and stay well. Steve Carr President / on behalf on the COM.

22.01.2022 The final of the proportional was played under blue skies at the club today. It was certainly one of the best games I’ve been lucky enough to watch with Susan Peng and Kerry Carr playing some amazing bowls. It was down to the wire before Susan took the title 102-98. Congratulations to both players on such a high standard game.

22.01.2022 Please see this update from Bowls Victoria around no spectators allowed at pennant finals that commence today.

20.01.2022 And that’s a wrap ...... Thanks to all our pennant players for another competitive season of pennant. Unfortunately we are not playing in the finals but we have had a great year and we thank you for your commitment this season. Let’s hope the 2020/21 season brings great success for our Saturday and Tuesday pennant teams.

Don’t forget to get your entries in to Michael for the comps by Friday so you’re in the draw. ... See you all Saturday.

14.01.2022 A great group of members came together today to get the club ready for the pennant season which starts in 2 weeks. Thanks to everyone who came along and helped. The club inside and out is looking great.

14.01.2022 The final of the mixed pairs was held today at the club. It was a cracking game and went right down to the wire. In the end it was Louise Saffigna and Tommy Zafiropoulos who held off a very impressive Judy Ward and Phil Hulbert. Congratulations to all players.

12.01.2022 Plenty of Chilli’s on our plants.

11.01.2022 THE CLUSTERS - Tim McLean, Cath Jackson, Trevor Lindley & Mitchell Faircloth. "We call ourselves the Oakleigh Clusters, get it 'oakleaf clusters' and our bowls cluster round the jack. Of course the word cluster has gained some rather bad connotations in 2020, the Cedar Meats Cluster, the Rydges Hotel Cluster and we considered changing the name of our rink to something more friendly like The Comrades, but thought people might think we're a bunch of Socialists, so in the end we decided to stick with what we know. We were the Clusters before Covid came along and we'll be the Clusters long after Covid is dead and buried. So the Clusters we stay. We had a nice win on Saturday over Elsternwick, not just our rink but every rink in the seconds, a clean sweep."

11.01.2022 This weeks Thursday comp saw Oakleigh play Clayton at home. Clayton took out the game 52-32. Great effort by our teams.

10.01.2022 Mandatory wearing of face masks at Oakleigh Bowling Club. The advice from Bowls Victoria is that "it would be extremely difficult for anyone to argue that bowls is an exercise that would render you out of breath" so please ensure that all members wear masks on and off the greens at the Club. Please also ensure that you sign in and out on the register in the locker room and thoroughly clean any equipment you use.... Stay safe and well.

10.01.2022 Greetings members With the changes by the Government and Bowls Victoria, we are now allowed 20 bowlers on a green at one time. Please ensure social distancing of 1.5m applies and that there is a maximum of 4 bowlers per rink. ... There is no need to book a spot but be aware if there are already 20 bowlers on the green you will need to come back later. Please remember to sign in and out on the record in the locker room and sanitize the jacks and mats. Please note the bar and club rooms are not able to be accessed. Toilets are available. We will continue to update members on any new developments as they become available.
