Scottie Fawkes Memorial Handicap Saturday 13th August 2022

Welcome to the Maleny Bowls Club Newsletter. The committee is focusing on the up and coming events for the year at present.

Up-coming Events for next month– Starting this week is “Roll Back the Clock”. Quite a few people have come on board and ready to participate. If you are interested and haven’t put your name down please let us know.

“Scottie Fawkes Memorial Day” – 13 August Please register your teams now if you haven’t already.

“Plum Pudding Day” – A vast number of people have been enquiring if we are holding the event this year again. The answer is YES. The flyer to register is coming out soon!

Grants - We have submitted a grant for partnership with Sunshine Coast Council for operational expenses. We are waiting for the outcome. This is for 2 years.

Submitted a grant for repairing the garden walls and purchasing junior bowls through the Gambling Fund and waiting for the outcome as well.

Monday Pairs – All players from Maleny, Woodford, Kilcoy and Mapleton have been enjoying the extra teams from Mooloolaba and Club Glasshouse. It is fantastic to have the privilege of other clubs to come and challenge our skills on the day. Thank you Les for the support for this to happen. The lunches are extra special these days as well.

Everyone is enjoying the variety of food on the day. Well done Margaret and girls.

North Arm Bowlers – Another great day was had by all. North Arm Bowlers vs. Maleny. The players were from as far as North Brisbane and as far north as Maleny. Almost a full green of players and another special lunch for us for the day. Everyone enjoyed the day with players leaving secretary@malenybowlsclub.com.au
