Bowls Australia has announced that effective May 1st 2019, bowlers may use an artificial device (i.e. a bowling arm) without the requirement for a medical certificate or approval by the relevant State authority. All other current restrictions on  the use of such devices will continue to apply.

It’s that time of year again for footy tipping.

If you have any questions, please contact Culum at communications@mccbowls.org.

To farewell the 2018/19 bowls season, the Club is holding an End of Season function on Saturday 23^rd March 2019 at the Swinburne Avenue clubrooms commencing at 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.

All members and their partners and families are invited to join us for a relaxed get together to celebrate the completion of another season. Please remember, the more the merrier, so why not come along and make it a great night.

The event will include finger food at $10pp (subsidised by the Club) and drinks at own cost. 

For catering purposes, would you please confirm your attendance and numbers with Reg Davis via email regbd50@yahoo.comor mobile 0409 771086 by Thursday 21st March.

The Club has a number of sets of very old bowls which are used for Barefoot Bowls events and for new bowlers who want to learn the game. It would be great if we could replace some of them with bowls having a more “modern” bias. If you have recently given up the game or have a spare set rolling around in your car boot, please consider donating them to the Club. Donors please contact John Graham Ph. 0417 034 417

NOTE – coloured bowls preferred. We are only interested in size 3 or smaller, thanks.

Family Night which was to be held on Friday 15^TH March has been cancelled due to the lack of numbers.

Dear Members,

It is with great sadness that I advise of the passing earlier today of Dr Herb Newman.

Herb was 91 years old and joined the Bowls Section in August 2001 as a previous Glenferrie Hill Recreation Club member.

More recently Herb played bankers at Glen Street and will be sadly missed.

Funeral details to follow once they have been finalised.

Our condolences to his wife Marycath and family.
