🌅 TWILIGHT BOWLS – WINTER BREAK ANNOUNCEMENT 🌅

A huge thank you to everyone who has joined us for Twilight Bowls this season! 🎉 It’s been fantastic seeing so many new and familiar faces out on the greens each week.

📅 Our final Twilight Bowls night before the winter break will be Wednesday, 24 June.

We’ll be taking a short break over winter and can’t wait to welcome everyone back in the first week of September for another great season of fun, laughs, and social bowls.

If you’ve been thinking about giving it a go, make sure you come along for our final night before the break! Everyone is welcome – no experience needed.

Well Club Maroochy members, both of our Ladies and Mens team going down today.
