Special Offer until 13 May Bring a friend, family member or colleague and they play for free.

Tuesday Morning Wednesday Twilight Bowls Friday Scroungers

I would like to thank the committee and games committee for including all members to enjoy the club championships competition. This is being innovative and is outside the normal program. We hope all members will enjoy and grasp the new concept and become involved.

All club games for the next 3 weeks till 13 May we are offering a special.

Bring a friend, family member, neighbour or colleague and they receive their game for free to come and enjoy the game of bowls.

Wednesday nights. In 3 weeks the competition is finished so let the games director on the night know if you are not playing or want to add a team. If you don’t have a team and want to play just let us know and will find a team for you.

20 students, Year 11’s are enjoying their time playing bowls. They are getting quite competitive with each other and showing enthusiasm in the game. They are coming on Thursday and Friday’s. Year 7 and 8’s start in 3 weeks for their school sport. We will have 20-27 students on a Wednesday. We have 4 coaches and one trainer available to help out.

Unfortunately we have a lot of members away from having the restrictions lifted and members are travelling at present to visit family etc, but there is no place like home and they will return soon. This also includes them coming out of isolation because of COVID. The committee would like to thank all members that have come forward and volunteered with assisting in the multiple jobs that are needed to keep the club moving. We are a club, but it is the members that make it, and this shows what a great club we have.

On Anzac Day, a big thank you to Allan Cook and Delilah Cook-Wilkinson for braving the weather and representing Maleny Bowls Club to present the book for Maleny Primary School.

The Grade 11 High School Scroungers Challenge has recommenced for term 2 which will run for approximately 6 weeks.

Terrific to see Blaise (our newest player) beat Candice 22 to 21 after applying handicaps.

20 students from years 7 & 8 will be starting on 4th May between 1.20pm and 2.20pm for their Wednesday school sport.

With the year 11's, Allan is doing a great job keeping them interested and now after the 2nd week they have turned the tables and are starting to challenge him with the music "they" listen to. I don't know if we will see any head banging coming from Allan but we will keep an eye out.

Maleny Bowls Club donated a local author book to Maleny Primary School on ANZAC Day in lieu of laying of a wreath.

The Willow Horse A chance meeting between Marianne Severns and John Wintergreen down by the river brings forth echoes of a long ago secret tragedy.

As a result of their ill-fated encounter both are shocked and mystified when their lives dramatically change. John is cruelly punished. But Marianne receives the harshest sentence: wrenched from her beloved cottage in the wood and sent into exile.

Devastated, she vows that one day she will reclaim the cottage, whatever the cost. It will be something to live for. Something to die for …

Set amidst the turmoil and rebellion of Tudor England, The Willow Horse is a tale of obsession, a tragic family secret and the haunting power of the past over the present.

On Anzac Day Allan Cook and Delilah Cook-Wilkinson representing Maleny Bowls Club present the book for Maleny Primary School.

The Sunshine Coast Mens Bowls Association would like to give local schools and students an opportunity to learn and play the sport of Lawn Bowls at our clubs. The Sunshine Coast District club coaches would like to work with your schools physical education teachers and sports masters to promote the sport to juniors (U18’s). Some schools in our District are already participating in a lawn bowls program as part of their schools physical education curriculum as an introduction to an alternative sport.

Background to the sport Once seen as a slow sport played by old people, lawn bowls is now seen as the young person's sport played by old persons as it is now a faster paced challenging sport catering to all physical abilities of all ages. Lawn bowls is uniquely inclusive as it allows children and adults of all abilities to compete without discrimination.

What is lawn bowls?

Lawn bowls is a target sport that uses muscle memory, strategic planning, teamwork and etiquette, while promoting both physical and mental health. Lawn bowls allows students to gain self confidence while practicing their mentoring skills. Whether it is played on a grass or synthetic surface the fundamentals of lawn bowls can be taught at a local bowls club.

Why play Lawn bowls?

There are considerable benefits to playing lawn bowls. All students can be involved regardless of gender, age, physical and athletic abilities.
