Bowling Clubs Go Bearfoot!

 

Bowls NSW has teamed up with The Kids Research Institute at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead for a fun fundraising event with the inaugural Bearfoot Bowls Challenge.   The Hospital’s well known mascot Bandaged Bear has already hit the green to practice his bowling skills and hopes that clubs across NSW will encourage social and competitive bowlers to join in the challenge. 

 

The Bearfoot Bowls Challenge will be a turnaround triples tournament with host clubs holding local events for teams to qualify through to a Regional Final and then onto a Championship Final.  Local clubs are encouraged to register and host their own events during November and December 2012 which could also double as an open day and showcase the club in a friendly and fun environment. 

 

If you’d like more information, or to find out how to get involved in this year’s event contact your Bowls NSW Community Development Officer on 02 9283 4555.   Hurry – club registrations close soon.  With your support we hope to raise more than $125,000 and give sick kids the greatest chance of a happy healthy life.
