In all, 44 clubs shared in $266,902 worth of funds through sport development, sport access, club facility upgrade/improvement applications.

Bowls NSW congratulates all the clubs who were successful with their grant applications.

The Association would also like to express its gratitude and thanks to each NSW RBM who helped all of the clubs to submit grant applications.

Without their expertise and knowledge, this great result for our sport would not have been achieved.

Bowls NSW encourages all clubs to keep up to date with any upcoming NSW grant schemes and to contact their local RBM or Bowls NSW Head Office, if they would like assistance in preparing and sending grant applications.

Exciting Opportunity for a Sydney Based Bowling Club

The TV drama is a period piece set in 1970’s with the bowling club being set as the main venue where the characters and community in the series socialise and interact. BECAUSE THIS DRAMA IS SET IN THE 1970’s THE BOWLING CLUB INTERIOR NEEDS TO HAVE A VINTAGE FEEL TO IT. Filming is scheduled to start in July 2021 and is expected to run for 12 weeks, although filming on the location will be

organised with the club, so as to not disrupt normal activities. The producers are willing to pay a location fee for the duration of the production and will provide all public liability, property insurances and security.

Potable Water Survey – NSW Bowling Clubs

Bowls NSW Energy Partner

The NSW Bowling Greenkeepers Association have been working in conjunction with the NSW Golf Course Superintendents Association, Bowls NSW and Water, Property and Housing Minister Melinda Pavey in regards to the water restrictions across the state.

We are seeking to obtain information from our NSW bowling clubs to assist in these discussions and formulate and implement workable restrictions and strategic water solutions for future years for the benefit of our sport and clubs.

A short 7-question survey can be found at the following link:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/nswbga_watersurvey

We find that 80% of business’s we speak to are overspending and we are reaching out to ensure that you’re not one of them!

Just to be clear we would never suggest or recommend that you switch unless it’s in your best interest and our comparison service is free – for transparency - the retailers pay us a flat fee for switching customers but this in no way is passed on to you.

What we do is take the usage, discounts (if you have any) and charges – pop them into our system and I can get back to you with an estimated savings figure, or let you know if you’re on a more competitive plan than any we have available from the retailers.

Best part about it – is we do all the work for you!
