As the year winds down, social bowls at Proserpine Bowls Club will conclude for 2025, with the last day of play scheduled for Sunday, December 14. The club plans to reopen on Sunday, January 24, 2026, with an Australia Day-themed event. Members are encouraged to get creative with their outfits to celebrate both the start of the year and Australia Day.
On Wednesday, seven players enjoyed an afternoon of bowls. Trevor Parsons and Philip Brown recorded a convincing win over Barry Zillmann and Sandy Daffara, while Josh Wilson, John Anderson, and Gavin Noonan claimed a big victory against Josh, Jade, and Heather Brown.
Sunday’s play was cancelled due to lightning and rain—a welcome relief for the grass, but not ideal for bowls.
Wednesday evening saw the first meeting of the newly elected Board, attended by all members. The meeting was productive, with dates set, decisions made, and plans for 2026 discussed.
Club Competitions 2026
Nominations are now open for the 2026 club competitions. Members can enter by putting their names on the sheets at the club, notifying Barry Saroglia, or asking someone to enter their team. Nominations close the first weekend in February, so teams are encouraged to organise early to ensure the competitions run smoothly.
Friday Night Social Bowls
The Board approved a proposal to open the club every Friday evening for Barefoot Bowls and socialising, starting Friday, February 6, from 5pm to 9pm. Activities will include a sausage sizzle and barefoot bowls (weather permitting). Success will rely on broad club support to share responsibilities.
Casual Social Membership will also be introduced, with a Members Draw to take place on Friday nights. More details will be shared once the program is finalised.
