Help the Victoria Park Carlisle Bowling Club

The Victoria Park Carlisle Bowling Club has been a pillar of the community since 1912 and provided a local, welcoming venue to play bowls, have a drink, hold functions and connect with your community.

 

Unfortunately, on the evening of January 26th 2022, vandals came in and hosted an illegal soccer game causing severe damage to the main bowling green. As those who play bowls know, maintaining healthy, even greens is an integral part of the game, and the destruction has resulted in the club having to close off the main green for at least 2 to 3 months. This means they may be unable to accommodate Men's and Ladies Pennants or barefoot bowls and will severely impact the club as they are the main source of income.

 

The cost of repairing the green has been quoted at $25,000 and this plus the lost revenue from the bar would be devastating to a small community club that prides itself on providing affordable access to everyone.

 

The Victoria Park Carlisle Bowling Club has been part of the community for over 100 years, and it would be a shame for the club to have to weather this financial storm alone, so I am reaching out to the community to help out our local club either through donations, or coming down to the club for a few drinks.
