FREE COACHING OFFER
ALL South Tweed Sports full bowling members are invited to
Roll-up for FREE with me! I have earned my Coaching stripes and together with the my experiences of some 20 yrs plus of bowling, I hope I can help my members improve their game.
Please check the booking area downstairs for the latest coaching dates.
Similarly, for all South Tweed Sports social members, I am happy to offer a 'try before you buy'/FREE lesson to introduce you to our wonderful game of lawn bowls. If after our lesson you like to pursue this further, I can assist with the membership application and introducing you to the appropriate Men's or Ladies committee.
VISITORS are welcome to organise coaching by appointment at a small charge (contact Club for more details)
PS If a member or visitor is a bit shy about coaching outdoors (in full view of other members), we have the opportunity of using the more private Indoor rink area.

KELVIN (Updated Spring 2007-08)
With the 2007 bowling year all but finished it's time to take a breath and look back.
Personally, the highlights include winning the World indoor Champion of Champions, Australian Indoor Champion back to back, Queensland State pairs and the Salisbury Super Bowl Singles. But it was a real thrill for me (and for our Club) in making the final of the Gold Coast Winter Carnival Fours with 3 of our home grown junior bowlers, the Leese brothers; Braiden, Joel and Josh. Incidentally, there combined ages were younger than me!
It was such a fun experience for us all and a real launching pad for the start of the boys' bowling career. I'm sure they will always remember the event and the final night, playing in front of a huge crowd with many of our home supporters cheering madly. Remember their names, you'll be seeing them often in the future.
Our Club recently made the finals of the Australian Clubs Challenge played at Helensvale. With 20 of the strongest clubs Australia wide taking part, simply being invited was an honour, let alone making it through to the final. Our team of Sally Hickman, Ray Hickman, Nigel Smith, Errol Bartlett and myself were proud to carry the club flag. Despite losing the final to Helensvale, it was terrific team effort.
Only weeks ago our Division 1 men made it through to the finals of the local pennant competition. Overall our club finished in third after 11 rounds and we hit our straps over the finals weekend.
Saturday was an unbelievable performance as we beat Musgrave Hill and McKenzie Park to make the Sunday final against Helensvale. Unfortunately, we lost again to Helensvale (with 4 Australian squad members) but another gutsy effort to fight to the end. A BIG thanks to our bowling members who turned up to support the team over the weekend.
