The Ringwood Bowls Club is located at 2-12 Loughnan Road in Ringwood and comprises of almost 400 members, with men’s and women’s bowling teams. The Ringwood Bowls Club has an extensive history of community engagement and has formed an ongoing partnership with organisations like the Ringwood Spiders and several schools to encourage lawn bowls across a range of age groups.

This evening I was invited to officially open the 2010 Lawn Bowls Season where I was able to congratulate the Ringwood Bowls Club for its focus on sustainability and community partnerships.

The Club has invested significantly in water sustainability initiatives, including water tanks and retention systems to provide a sustainable source for watering the greens.

In addition, the club has formed several community partnerships, including local schools and sporting clubs. The Ringwood Bowls Club also actively participates in Maroondah’s Healthy Aging Network, providing activities for Maroondah’s senior citizens.

I congratulate the Ringwood Bowls Club for its ongoing innovation and participation within the community and wish members the very best for the 2010/2011 Lawn Bowls Season.
