24.01.2022 WEEKEND PENNANT RESULTS (Round 7 - 16/01/21)- DIVISION 1 - Unkind wind and persistent showers were not enough to dampen Division 1's day. With two rinks up, and two down, we took a convincing win over Drouin (106-86). Gold star performance by the rink skipped by Darren Kane, taking a 41 to 15 win - and in the process becoming Rink of the Week!... Next week Div 1 (5th on the ladder) are at home again, versus 4th place Traralgon. DIVISION 4 - If we thought the wind was a challenge at home, it was even tougher for our Division 4 side who were playing away at Yallourn North - but it didn't get the better of them!! An overall win for Traf (94-87), with two rinks up, one down and one drawn. Special mention to Sue Robinson's crew who got up by 18. Div 4 (currently 3rd on the ladder) take a short journey to Yarragon (4th) next week. DIVISION 6 - Sadly, Div 6 couldn't make the hat-trick for Traf, going down to Morwell Club (36-46). One rink up, one down. Div 6 (4th) are scheduled for an away match against Newborough (3rd) next weekend. #trafalgarbowlsclub

20.01.2022 How good is this, from our 'friendly' matches on Saturday. Two touchers in the ditch and two sitting on the edge. All bowls in play! Have you been involved in an amazing end like this? Tell us about it, or send a pic for everyone to enjoy. #trafalgarbowlsclub

20.01.2022 TOURNAMENT RESULTS: On Sunday (03/01), the Ted Higgs Memorial Triples event was held at Trafalgar Bowls Club. The day was a great success, and fortunately the weather held out just long enough to allow matches to be played.... The title was won by a team comprising wholly of Traf bowlers: Tommy Lodge, Chris Bortignon & Peter Rosenboom. Congratulations gents! Thanks to everyone who came along to bowl, spectate and volunteer. #trafalgarbowlsclub

19.01.2022 Friday Night Raffles are back - this week with a side serve of AGM and Special Presentation.....and PIZZA! CovidSafe procedures must be adhered to you, for the protection of all members/patrons (and the club). We had a number of spare seats last week. ... Don't be shy, come on down. See you there! #trafalgarbowlsclub

18.01.2022 2021 will be a big year of fun and entertainment at the Bowlo! More details about this event will be posted in the coming weeks. WATCH THIS SPACE.... #trafalgarbowlsclub

16.01.2022 The club held a special Wednesday Raffles yesterday, with a Christmas slant. Plenty of Christmas Cakes and Hams were won by our members and guests, alongside the usual meat trays, shopping vouchers and ale. A few messages from the event:... > Raffles next week will also be held on Wednesday (30/12) - not Thursday as previously advised. Doors open at 5pm, with raffles starting at 6pm. > Traf BC will be visiting Mirboo North Bowls Club for our annual get-together on Monday 11 January. Attendees will be treated to a social game of bowls, followed by a fantastic dinner. If wanting to come along, please add your name to the list on the board at the club. > Congratulations to Tim Anderson, who took out our Men's Club Singles Title last Sunday. He defeated Jim Lawrence in the final (25-20). Congrats to both finalists, and all who were involved in the tournament. > Ian Riley has taken the reigns of our Punters Club (pun intended). The 2021 edition kicks off from Saturday 16 January. If wanting to join the Punters Club, or wish to know more about it, please contact Ian directly. > Live Music is back! Don't forget, The Good Old Boys will be rocking the clubhouse on Sunday 17 January. Barefoot Bowls (and bevvies) will be happening from 12pm, then the band will kick off at 2pm. For those who've never bowled before, this would be a great way to get introduced to the game - come down and give it a go. That's a wrap for our pre-Christmas update (another great pun). On behalf of Trafalgar Bowls Club, we hope your Christmas is safe, enjoyable and full of love. #trafalgarbowlsclub

13.01.2022 It's cold and wet outside, so maybe it's a good night to pop down to the Bowlo for some dry indoor fun! Doors open at 5pm. Raffles start at 6pm (Meat Raffle followed by Beer Raffle). Drinks at Happy Hour prices from 5pm to 7pm.... New comers always welcome! #trafalgarbowlsclub

12.01.2022 Selections for Round 7 Saturday Pennant and Midweek Pennant are now available in the Member's Area of the Club website. Good bowling everyone!

07.01.2022 Last Friday (Dec 4), Traf BC were honoured to host representatives from Latrobe Valley Authority. Karen Cain (CEO) and Carla Bruce (former Grants Coordinator) joined us for our Friday Night Raffles and spent time mingling with members and patrons. Carla even won a prize in the raffle, taking home a meat pack for her family to enjoy. Karen and Carla were instrumental in supporting Traf BC's grant application, which ultimately led to approval of funding for a number of facilit...y improvements, including: New carpets in the clubrooms Ramp access into to the clubrooms Automated doors at the front entrance Installation of an Accessible Toilet (in line with compliance requirements) These renovations have not only freshened up the club, they've helped us to be more accessible and inclusive to those in our community with mobility difficulties. On behalf of our members and community, thanks Karen and Carla, and all of the LVA team. #trafalgarbowlsclub

06.01.2022 Raffle Night is done and dusted for another week. Did you come down? If not, you missed out on some great prizes, cheap drinks and lots of banter. Key messages from the night:... > The planned trip to Mirboo North Bowls Club on Monday (11/01) has been cancelled in light of changing Covid circumstances. > Thanks to all the volunteers who've helped Greg (Sepho) Sephton in fixing up Smokey's Shack. > Bingo is back on the agenda - and we are close to getting it back up and running.

And the sad news.........Bar prices will sadly be going up from next week. :( Prices have been static for close to 2 years, so I guess we can't complain too much about it! Have a great weekend, and we hope to see you on the greens. #trafalgarbowlsclub
