On Wednesday 27 August, our member are requested to be at Queens park, opposite Bunnings, by noon in uniform. HELLOWORLD Travel Warwick, and AAT have arranged a bus converted to a indoor bowls rink, believed to be the world’s first, to assist the public on playing the game of bowls. Should be an interesting outing and maybe some new bowlers could eventuate from this day.
