The club has been anguishing for some time about a new surface for their bowls rink. The club was being pushed by the increased costs of maintaining a grass surface and the added problem of any spray laden water runoff into Obi Creek.
Project co-ordinator, Les Bennett said, “The new surface would also provide a more true surface to play on allowing members to be better prepared when playing competition bowls.”
Club chairman, Ian Hansen said, “Myself and a few others had a roll-up last Saturday afternoon and all were suitably impressed knowing that the surface will only improve [run faster] as time passes.
The club aims to have a much busier community social day bowls diary over the coming year. If your club or business is looking for a social day out then why not organise a day of “bare foot bowls”.
