We welcome new members, either existing bowlers or those new to the sport.  If new to bowls we provide free coaching.  If you wish to arrange free coaching with a group of friends, please ring George Mckay on (03) 382 1467.

Green 2 Re-build

The greenkeeping team, and a working party of members, have now removed the recent liquefaction from Green 2 and filled in the sink hole.  The sink hole has been compacted down with a commercial vibrating plate, but this latest event will unfortunately delay the opening of the green.  However, green 2 surrounds and plinths have no damage, due mainly to the excellent re-build achieved by club members following previous damage

Many thanks are due to the St Albans-Merivale Bowling Club, for agreeing to our use of their greens for our competitive bowling while our number 2 green is being re-built.  In addition the useable rinks on our number 1 green can still be used for role-ups. Full details of these arrangements have been sent out to all Parklands members in the newsletter.

New Washer/Sterilizer

Much thanks are due to the Mainland Foundation Trust for the sum of $3,865 to purchase a new washer/sterilizer for the hall.  The new equipment will be of benifit to members and many organisations that hire our facilities.
