Due to health regulation guidelines being a gathering of less than 500 people, all will proceed as normal - AT THIS STAGE.

Also, because of green management and Grand Final preparations, Friday Barefoot bowls has been cancelled for this week. Stay safe

17.01.2022 Please Note: Rules of wearing a mask whilst bowling have changed effective today. The guidelines for wearing masks have been updated by DHHS effective 30th October for the sport of bowls, a mask must be worn and should only be lowered to enable a player to play their shot, communicate game play (tactics or instructions), to momentarily regain composure if a player is short of breath or any other valid safety reason. Wearing a face covering protects you/your community by providing an additional physical barrier to COVID-19. Where a person has a lawful excuse not to wear a mask, the club takes no responsibility in any fine or sanction applied under law to the individual (e.g. by the Police). When playing in NSW located clubs, NSW law applies.
