Best feet forward for bowling comp

Ocean Grove Bowling Club is holding its popular Community Bowls event again.
Dubbed as ‘barefoot bowls’ the social competition kicks off on Monday 27 February and has been a hit with businesses, clubs, community groups and individuals.
The successful competition has been popular and provides a good night of entertainment, giving participants the opportinity to socialise with other members of the community and learn about the game of bowls.
Teams consist of four players (male, female or mixed) and cannot have an experienced bowler. You may enter as many teams as you want and don’t have to field the same players each week.
Prizes are awarded each week to the winning teams and the premier team at the end of the tournament will receive the Ocean Grove Voice trophy.
Cost per team is $68 per night ($17 per player), which includes a meal after the game.
The comp runs on 27 February and 6, 13 and 20 March and starts at 6pm.
Get your entry forms from reception at the bowling club (entries close on 20 February) and any queries can go to John McConville on 0407 096 811.
