Friday night barefoot bowls fun at Macedon

Looking for some fun at the end of a busy week and don’t know what to do?

Why not join us at Macedon Ranges Bowling Club for a fun night for the whole family playing barefoot bowls?

On the first Friday of each month in summer, we open the greens from 5.30pm (weather permitting) for all to enjoy lawn bowls in a relaxed and fun environment, finishing the night with a barbecue, build a burger or sausage, and salad. Bowls are supplied and you just need to come and enjoy our great game. Cost for the night including food is $20 per person and $10 per school-aged child.

Drinks are available at bar prices (no BYO) and we have EFTPOS facilities onsite.

Macedon Ranges Croquet Club off and shooting

The new year of croquet has started well with the courts looking good and our members getting back to play on Mondays, Wednesdays (Club Day) and Saturdays.

Those who have played in the first rounds of the Club Championship have appreciated the support from fellow members who came to watch.

The Round Robin to decide the Club Champion for 2023 will be played on 1 March.

After the general meeting on Wednesday 8 March, there will be a light morning tea.

We are delighted that our member Elaine Murphy has been awarded an OAM in the Australia Day Awards. Her honour is for her contribution to education and the arts over a long period. Congratulations, Elaine!

March will be a busy month, with a Social Day on 15 March and the ‘What’s Fresh’ trophy for the Kyneton Challenge to be played in Gisborne on 24 March.

Two teams of two players will play pennant this year.

Watch out for the Easter Raffle outside IGA later in March. This is our major fundraiser for the year. It will be drawn on Saturday 1 April.

Macedon members are only too happy to assist with some pointers in the art of bowling.

Our picturesque green is at Tony Clarke Reserve on Waterfalls Road, Macedon, and is a great way to spend a summer’s night with family and friends. Our next Barefoot Bowls nights will be Friday 3 March and Friday 31 March.

To ensure your place, please book your rink by the Wednesday before the session by contacting Helen Kennedy on 0402 812 550 or via our website, macedonrangesbowls.club. Please advise dietary requirements when booking.

We look forward to seeing you on the green.
