Welfare Bowls Club

Want to give lawn bowls a try?

Want to give lawn bowls a try, it’s on for young and old at the Mount Morgan Lawn Bowls Club located at 28 Thompson Avenue, the Mount on each Sunday, commencing at 9 a.m.

What is Lawn Bowls?

It’s an outdoor game in which a ball (known as a bowl) is rolled toward a smaller stationary ball, called a jack.

The object is to roll one's bowls so that they come to rest nearer to the jack than those of an opponent. This is sometimes achieved by knocking aside an opponent's bowl or the jack.

This club was formed back in 1918 and has friendly member’s waiting to meet you and teach you how to play lawn bowls.

On that note, the club supplies newcomers with bowls, at no cost. New members are very well welcome.

Our current executive committee consists of: Chris Izzard (President), Sandra Edwards (Secretary) and Mr. Wally Edwards (Treasurer).

For any queries, please contact Sandra or Wally on 0428 828 830.

We support our new members and are readily available to teach all aspects of lawn bowling.

The club also has magazines, socials, and friendly members with a culture for equality and respect for all genders and cultures.

The club house is well maintained, quite large and air conditioned. Also has a fully equipped kitchen. This club holds a current Liquor License and does offer rental of the clubhouse to the public and other clubs, when available.

Also, we have established a new Facebook Page…. called “Mt. Morgan Welfare Bowls Club” (not spelt as Mount Morgan, due to not being able to delete the old page yet).

This new Facebook page contains all our current details, and announcements, so please come along one Sunday morning.

The club also has young participants who can play lawn bowls well…i.e., it’s on for young and old!
