I am an MCC member wishing to take lawn bowls. ( injured golf and tennis player, mid-70s). How can I get started and learn? Do you have regular non- pennant days for this? My best days Wednesday/ Thursday. With thanks John Ross

Hello John.
Best way to start is to meet me at our Swinburne Avenue, Hawthorn facility and I can show you the ropes and have a practice run to see if you want to take up the sport. Call me on 0417 034 417 to arrange a time.

On Tuesday last, I visited our club for the first time this year. The temperature was 20 degrees
As I walked up the blue stone steps, I noticed the new hand rails on both sides for elderly bowler/members like myself..
the green looked magnificent and the grounds pristine;. the clubhouses and toilets were meticulously clean; all kitchen utensils were perfectly placed.
After 50 mins practice, I retired for a cup of coffee and cut lunch. I looked out the clubhouse window at the surrounds. Everything was so calm and peaceful. Warren and Josh were laying new ditches on the green.
I was amazed
that I was approx 8-9 kms from the centre of Melbourne.
After lunch, I was joined by two fellow bowlers for a practice, then two female bowlers arrived (one a new member). Over time, I was able to have different conversations with the four fellow members on a variety of topics. That is the club’s culture.
Before leaving, I congratulated Warren, our green-keeper, on the state of the greens and Dee, our contract cleaner, on the cleanliness of the clubhouse and surrounds. I left at 3p.
Before driving away, I sat in my car and just thought about my club.
I thought how all this happens – it only happens because a number of members contribute or in Australiana terms must ‘Put In”
– I thought of the chaotic traffic conditions as I travel to the various venues including our own (some of the distances to the locations of opposing pennant clubs seem to be to be an absurdity)
But against all that, I hope the above story speaks for why I love my bowls club
