Indoor Bowls rolls on at Palmwoods Hall, with thanks to Community Bank
Indoor Bowls is a great sport that exercises the mind as well as the body and it’s on twice a week in the beautiful Palmwoods Memorial Hall.
It demands skill in understanding the use of the bias of the bowl, mastering judgement of distance and degree of turn in each particular carpet, and being able to plan and execute game strategies.
Described as a ‘thinking person’s sport’ it provides a much-needed alternative to sports that rely on strength, agility and speed and is popular with current and former outdoor bowlers.
Palmwoods Indoor Bowls club meets every Tuesday and Thursday at Palmwoods Memorial Hall from 8.30am - 12pm.
“We get about 30 players come and join us twice a week,” said President Les Mott.
“New players are welcome and the first game is free. After that it’s $8 a game plus $5 annual membership for the year.
“There’s no age limit. November 28 is our last game of the year but we’re back in January for anyone who’s interested in fellowship, fun and gentle exercise.”
Les expressed his appreciation for the ongoing support from the Heritage Community Bank Palmwoods Branch. Thanks to the annual distribution of Sponsorships provided by the branch, the club is able to enhance its facilities and continue offering a welcoming and enjoyable space for residents to participate in the sport.
“We are incredibly grateful for the generous funding we receive each year,” said Les. “The assistance has made a huge difference, helping us provide an engaging environment for new and experienced players.”
“The continued partnership with the Heritage Community Bank, Palmwoods Branch & the Palmwoods Community reflects a shared commitment to fostering local sports and social activities.”
