Glenrowan Indoor Bowls WELCOMES any interested bowlers or would-be bowlers to join them
each Wednesday at 1 pm for friendly games
at the Glenrowan Memorial Hall,
which is located at the Recreational Reserve
(the football oval).

After three rounds of friendly and fun games,
all players enjoy a nice Afternoon Tea!

Come along on a visit, occasionally - or every Wednesday!

The Memorial Hall is well heated in Winter
and has good cooling in Summer
so the indoor bowls are an all-seasons game
here in Glenrowan.

Advance notice from the Glenrowan Bowls Club,
that on Wednesday the 6th of October,
as part of Seniors Week,
everyone is invited to come along and join in a
free, fun day of carpet bowls in the Glenrowan Memorial Hall.

Beginners are welcome and, as usual,
there will be a sumptuous afternoon tea. ♣

Wednesday the 18th of August:
On Wednesday the 18th of August the Glenrowan Indoor Bowls Club held a successful Annual General Meeting attended by twenty members who gathered in the warm Glenrowan Memorial Hall.
There were six apologies, including former president, Col, and his wife, Marion, who were away, holidaying in Brisbane. Bill Lynch, one of the club’s founding members, was also unable to attend and fulfil his usual role of chairing the AGM, but former Vice President, Alan Kelley, stepped up and did an admirable job in the chair.
Frank Wellman was re-elected as President, with Clarrie Britton as Vice-President. Val Nalder has taken on the position of Secretary and Treasurer.
Following the meeting three ends of bowls were played with lots of prizes awarded. The winning team, with 29 points, was made up of President, Frank Wellman, Betty White and Avis Grant.
Two teams tied for second place with 26 points each: Clarrie Britton, Muriel Wellman, Noeline Cosier and Jo Bosch formed one team. The other was comprised of Dawn Gulbin, Val Nalder and Joan Rolands. The consolation prize went to Jean Britton, Meg Clark and a recently-joined member, Ursula.

Wednesday the 11h of August:
Members of the Glenrowan Indoor Bowls Club once again braved the wet and cold weather on Wednesday the 11th of August to reach the warmth and comfort of the Memorial Hall for their social bowls competition.
The winning team of Avis Grant, Merna Kelley, Meg Clark and Noelene Cosier scored 28 points. Following closely with 26 points were second-place-getters – Alan Kelley, Marion Kennedy, Muriel Wellman and Joan Rolands.
The consolation prize of Mars Bars went to Reg Cosier, Hazel Ralph, Olive McArthy and Joyce Beale with 19 points.

Wednesday the 4th of August:
Nineteen players were at Glenrowan Indoor Bowls on Wednesday the 4th of August. It must be that efficient heater at the Memorial Hall which persuades members to venture out on these cold days.
The winners were June Hales, Val Nalder and Jo Bosch with 29 points. Coming in a close second with 28 points were Dawn Gulbin, Joyce Beale and Hazel Ralph.
The Mars Bar Consolation prizes were won by Frank Wellman, Marion Pearce and Muriel Wellman who scored 11 points. ♣

Wednesday the 21st of April:
Numbers were down a at Glenrowan Indoor Bowls social competition on Wednesday 21st April, but this did not stop those present from having a good time.

Wednesday the 28th of April:
On Wednesday 28th April, it was a day of highs and lows at Indoor Bowls. One of the highest scores ever was scored by the winning team of June Hales, Betty White, Sheila Broydell and Connie Jenkins with a massive score of 38 points.
In second place were Alan Kelley, Muriel Wellman, Val Nalder and Olive McArthy with 20 points. The low point came when Reg Cosier, Avis Grant, Meg Clarke and Joan Rolands having only scored 11 points were denied their full consolation prize in the Mars Bar Awards, receiving only half a Mars Bar each.
A sneak thief had somehow gained entry to the club’s locked cupboard at the Memorial Hall, taking the stock of Mars Bars, except for two tiny Mars Bars which had to then be halved for the four team members. Joan was most disappointed.

Wednesday the 5th of May:
Word was out that the challenge was on by the next gathering on Wednesday 5th May and nineteen players hit the mats!
The team of June Hales, Muriel Wellman and Marion Kennedy were declared winners after scoring 28 points. In second place were Avis Grant, Connie Jenkins and Noeleen Cosier with 23 points.
The Mars Bars had to be shared between two teams who tied with 18 points each. Frank Wellman, Joan Rolands and Joyce Beale had their sweet tooths catered for, as did Merna Kelley, Val Nalder and Jo Bosch.

Wednesday the 12th of May:
On Wednesday 12th May, the winning team of Alan Kelley, Sheila Broydell and Joan Rolands, were definitely striving to reach the unreachable score, but fell short. Nevertheless they still came up with an amazing score of 30 points.
Frank Wellman, Olive McArthy, Avis Grant andDawn Gulbin scored 19 points to share second place with June Hales, Val Nalder, Muriel Wellman and Jo Bosch, also on 19 points. Although only one point behind, on 18, Merna Kelley, Betty White and Connie Jenkins had to settle for the Mars Bars Award. ♣
