Wallan Bowling Club members were joined by their Kilmore and Broadford counterparts in a tri-series event during the first three weeks of August to help each club members practice ahead of official practice matches in early September and the season proper in October.
Members of each club are most familiar with each other, as the three clubs had memorable battles during their years in the now-defunct Central Bowls District, which disappeared as a result of Bowls Victoria’s decision to re-distribute region boundaries.
While the battles were competitive, the underlying friendship that evolved among members of all three clubs during this time was always noticeable.
Upon the disbandment of the Central Bowls district in 2021, Kilmore and Broadford ventured into the Central Highlands Bowls competition, while Wallan entered the Northern gateway metropolitan competition.
With the locations of each club relatively geographically close, and the fact that members from all three clubs still play in each others’ social competitions and tournaments, the bowlers regularly cross paths and friendships are maintained.
All three clubs welcome membership enquiries from both new and experienced bowlers.
