Visitors from Parkdale BC and Black Rock BC joined us for a social bowl on Tuesday. Both clubs are undergoing maintenance of their greens and we benefit with a boost in numbers and extra competition and Melbourne turned on perfect Autumn conditions.

G'day All
Tomorrow night will be the last night we run Last Bowl Standing Bowls Competition before next pennant season. Unfortunately bad weather has wrecked some of these planned nights. But the weather is looking fantastic for tomorrow night.
Let's make it a great night for Sandy Bowls and encourage as many members as we can to turn up tomorrow night and have some fun bowling.
Even bring a friend along to have a roll & enjoy the night.
Sausage sizzle starting @ 5:30pm and the start of Last Man Standing will start @ 6:30pm. The bar is open as well.
Hopefully see as tomorrow night
Thanks Troy
( Chuckles will be attended the footy so I will be running the evening )
An exciting day with the first rolling of the new VERY GREEN GREEN!!

Dear Bowlers -
I hope you are well - this is a message to all our suppliers and customers.
I’m writing to inform you that our pizza shop, Hello Bello Pizza, was severely damaged in a firebombing incident at approximately 2:30 a.m. on 8th of April. As a result, we are unfortunately unable to operate for the foreseeable future.
At this stage, please place any pending orders or deliveries on hold until further notice. If we have any subscriptions / ongoing payments with your company please cancel them as soon as possible. We will contact you as soon as we have more clarity on our situation and any plans to resume trading.
During this incredibly difficult time, a couple of close friends and I set up a GoFundMe page to help support the owner, Assad, who has been deeply impacted by this event. If you can help, any contribution, no matter how small, will genuinely support him and his family through this period. These last few days have been incredibly hard for them. If you’re not in a position to donate, simply sharing the page would also go a long way in supporting the owner and his family.
Help Support Hello Bello Family - GoFundMe
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to Assad during these tough times. If any of you know Assad personally, you know the passion, hard work, and care he has put into this business.
We appreciate your understanding and support. If you have any urgent queries, please feel free to reach out to me on this email
Kind regards,
Michael Psarakis

Lots of excitement, consternation, rain and then relief when the new grass was sprayed (not sown) yesterday. Rob Elliot is being tested with every stage - but going well!
Always good to make it to the Finals but there can be only one winner in the Men’s Propertional Singles and that was Mark Robertson who defeated Trevor Isaacs.
Peter Sullivan and Alan Kelton put on a good performance defeating David Elias and Michael Jewell in the 2025-26 Men’s Pairs Championship. Congratulations on a great match.
The Mixed Triples Club Championship will be held on Easter Saturday, April 4th starting at 10.00am. It will be a round robin format with 3 games of 8 ends. The winning team will be decided by the team who has the total largest score of the three games. BYO lunch.
Nominated teams of three may be entered, but there will also be a list for individual players who wish to participate. They will be placed in teams of three. Entrance for the event closes Friday April 3rd. Please remember that teams should reflect both mixed gender and mixed ability.
Entry fee is $15.00 to cover green fees and prize money.
The winning team will share the glory of being named Mixed Triples Champions, a monetary prize and will also have their names engraved on the Ian Felsenthal Mixed Triples Plate.
Wow - what a day!
