January 31st 2018 marked the 7th anniversary of the opening of Maleny Bowls Clubs artificial green which was the first of its kind on the Sunshine Coast as reported in the Hinterland Grapevine of the day.

Thanks to the efforts of those who maintain its surface and surrounds the artificial green is in tip top shape to this day and continues to provide a fabulous surface to play our wonderful game.

In December 2017 we paid out the loan to finance the artificial green which was a major milestone considering the initial term of repayments was over 25 years.

It was terrific to celebrate Australia Day in Maleny with the annual Hinterland Expo with 68 sporting clubs, local community and service groups showcasing all that is available in our wonderful community.

The Maleny Bowls Clubs children’s activity was a super success with points having to be scored before we would stamp their Expo Passports.

It was also a great opportunity to chat with parents about our introductory Barefoot Bowls games we have on offer at the club.

Congratulations to the winners of our Hinterland Aussie Day Expo promotion that entitles them and a friend to attend any future Wednesday Twilight Bowls and receive complimentary Bowls, BBQ & Beer.

Winners are Jo Price, Jacqui Blackmore, Lynne Orlando, Rosalie Parmiter, Mariska Postma, Lisa Archer, Doug Henderson, Sven Felius, Dena Orr, Julie Walters, John & Zach Gutke. ​secretary@malenybowlsclub.com.au​

Name badge magnet lost or so we thought!

Preparing for Wednesday Twilight Bowls Doug McGufficke was about to clip on his name badge when the he accidently dropped it. This was witnessed by several bowlers at his table who then joined forces to search for the lost magnet.

After moving furniture, scouring the floor it was still not found. So Doug played without his name badge. When the game finished Doug and his team performed another thorough search without success. Somehow it had disappeared.

Then in preparation for Mondays Jackpot Pairs Doug had found a replacement magnet for his name badge and put them in the pocket of his bowls bag as per usual.

On arrival at the club when he retrieved his name badge from the pocket of his bowls bag at the club there was his lost magnet securely attached.

Somehow it had fallen back into the pocket would you believe!
