The wait is over—just like a female’s gestation period—and the baby has arrived!
The roof is on, and now the final touches are underway: securing it for a category 5 cyclone, installing downpipes and a drain for excess water, finishing the fences, and before long our little club will be a wonderful sight in our paradise. It’s something the whole community can be proud of.
A big thank you to Amanda Camm for securing the extra funding for those finer finishing touches—it’s much appreciated by all members. Now we no longer have to cancel the schoolchildren if the weather is bad, and the beautiful people from the Endeavour Foundation can come every week, rain, hail or shine.
The revenue we’ve lost over the last seven months will be made up in no time. Free bowls lessons will now be a regular event on Monday and Thursday afternoons between 4 and 5pm, and soon there’ll be cover from the carpark right to the front entrance.
It’s perfect timing too, with the Australian Open currently on in Brisbane.
Anyone in the community is welcome to come down and give bowls a try—or to book their functions now with confidence.
We’re all so excited and can’t wait for the grand opening day!
