The Hamilton Bowls Club was founded in 1925 and has grown to be one of the most successful and modern bowls clubs in South East Queensland. It boasts two excellent Bowls Greens with lights for Night Bowls (seasonal). Ideally situated in picturesque Hamilton, Central Brisbane, just 6km from the CBD, Hamilton Bowls Club is easily accessible by all forms of public transport. It is also nestled between over 20 motels and has close proximity to the Brisbane airport

PRESIDENTS NOTES

Sean Baker has been engaged as Bowls Co-Ordinator and will commence in April. All members are encouraged to make Sean welcome. Sean will be working with council to get a lot more bowls happening at Hamilton. Welcome aboard big fella.

There are a lot of unfounded rumours around - So lets be clear – Hamilton BC is NOT moving to Hendra – Is NOT going broke – Is NOT being abandoned by the racing club and is NOT going away anytime soon !

Renovations to the clubhouse are nearing completion and we should be settling back in by mid April.
While we will have a small office in the main clubhouse most of our bowls will be run from a separate  ”Bowls Donga” at the side of the main clubhouse.
A notice board has been set up near the outside bar and competition notices will be posted there.
The second green will be back in play after Easter – so it will be full throttle from then.

Council is running a couple of tournaments to encourage our club players to play at Hammo.
• $700 in prizes have been put up for a Major /Minor pairs to be run on Social Saturdays from now to Pennants. The competition will be a handicap format with a  two chances butterfly draw. It has been formulated for players to attend regularly on Saturdays.
• Monday 7th May is to be our sometimes annual labour day pairs – this year there are 2 sets of coloured bowls as first prize, 4 games, $80 entry, Lunch, Cash for the minor places – Look for the flyer or contact Dick, Des or Sean

Council has determined to again play a mixed pairs competition in 2012. Nominations will be called in April.
