Salamander Bay retiree, Bruce now “hears the world in colour” thanks to the latest in hearing solutions.
“I spent so many years missing out on details of many conversations; not hearing my wife properly; not hearing the television or radio well and just trying to lip read,” he recalls. “I will never forget that sensation in the Hearing Australia room when my hearing aids were fitted and I literally heard colour. It was so stark – sounds came into clarity – it’s like my eyes were opened to sound again. I really missed out on so many sounds over the years.” Bruce urges anyone who is experiencing hearing difficulties to go and get a check – “it’s as simple as that” – he says.

Five clubs to benefit from CSRFF grants
Five WA bowls clubs will benefit from the latest round of Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) grants announced recently by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
Three greens projects were awarded, with one metropolitan club and two country clubs to benefit. The City of Joondalup was awarded $154,622 towards installation of a synthetic green at the very successful Sorrento Bowling Club. For Sorrento, one of WA’s largest clubs, the funding brings significant hard work over many years in planning this project, to fruition.
Denison Bowling and Recreation Club, situated on the WA coast, in the beautiful surrounds of Dongara and Port Denison, received $174,999 towards installation of two synthetic greens. The club currently has three grass greens in place, however the installation of synthetic surfaces will ensure the club’s future, and ensure costs into the future are more easily identified and controlled.
Finally, on the greens front, Narrogin Bowling Club received $111,703 towards conversion of one of its grass greens to synthetic.
Two other projects were awarded funding in the City of South Perth. Manning Bowling Club ($164,407) and Como Bowling Club ($122,766) were awarded grants for toilet upgrades required for both club houses. They will now, literally, be the place to go!
CSRFF grants for small projects (up to $300,000 project total) are available twice per year, while there is also one additional opportunity, per year, for larger projects. Clubs that wish to apply for a CSRFF grant need to plan significantly in advance, as it is often the case that grants are not successful at the first attempt. CSRFF Small Grant applications are open now, however clubs must ensure they liaise with DLGSC representatives in their area, with Bowls WA CEO Ken Pride and with their local council before submitting a grant application. Each of these stakeholders plays an important part in funding or evaluating CSRFF applications.
