Caro Bowl Season Wrap-Up
The Caro Bowl season has now finished for our teams. We're pleased to report both teams are safe and will qualify again for next year’s competition.
A huge well done to all players, and a special thanks to our team managers John and Glynnis, as well as Mel and her kitchen helpers for keeping everyone fed and supported each week.
Caro Bowl Finals – This Friday
The finals take place this Friday at 6pm:
Men: Next Gen vs Parnell (hosted by Next Gen)
Women: Parnell vs Next Gen (hosted by Parnell)
All members are welcome to head along and support.
Midweek Interclub – Players Needed
Entries are now open for next year’s Midweek Interclub.
If you’re free on Monday and/or Tuesday mornings in February and March, this doubles-only competition (women’s teams, four players per team) could be a great fit.
We currently have:
Monday Championship 2 team – for experienced players
Open Grades – for players keen to give Interclub a go in a fun, supportive environment
We’d love more teams involved!

Club Renovations
Members visiting the Club this week may have noticed upgrades to the bar, kitchen, lounge, and deck areas. This work is part of our long-term plan to create a more welcoming, functional space for members and guests.
A big thank-you to Mel for her vision, organisation, and impressive DIY skills.
