With the spring and summer sunshine not far away, the change in weather signals that the lawn bowls season is nearly upon us.
This year, the Monbulk Bowling Club will celebrate their 60th anniversary and will present an exhilarating new look to carry the club forward into an exciting new era.
There are many great bowling opportunities at the club this year, and anyone considering giving the game a go – this would be a great time to do it.
The club has appointed former under-18 state coach Rob Wilson as the new head coach and bowls operations manager to spearhead their ambitious new program.
Along with wife Karen, who is a multiple-region representative and accomplished player in her own right, the club has already had an influx of new players, which has necessitated the addition of an extra side in the upcoming pennant season.
The Wilsons are Monbulk locals and are returning to the club after 16 years away.
Rob said it is a great feeling to be returning to the bowling club, having played footy, cricket and raising their family in Monbulk and that to be back for the club’s 60th year is a big thrill.
“It’s a great community club and the sport of bowls is so inclusive, a sport for anyone, I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve the local community in a sport I love so come on down I would love to help you,” he said.
Newly appointed club president Peter Dowsett said there is a lot of positivity about the upcoming season, and with the number of new bowlers around the place at the moment, they are rapt to have Rob back at the club to lead them.
“It feels like a very exciting club at the moment, and we are always looking to welcome more new people,” he said.
