The “Club Limited” looks after the overall administration and finance associated with running a licensed club. Bowls activities are in the hands of the Gordon Bowling Club and the Gordon Women’s Bowling Club, who organize the men’s and women’s bowling events respectively, and join forces to run mixed days. The Board of the Club Limited and the two Club Bowls Committees are elected annually.

Men’s bowls days are Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12.30 pm. During winter months, June through August, we start at 12.00. The office is open for telephone bookings between 10.00 and 11.00 am on those days, or you may book in person at the club ahead of the day. You can buy a sandwich for lunch before the start of play; there is a break for afternoon tea between about 2.30 and 3.00 pm, and games are usually finished by 4.30 pm.

Women’s bowls days are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10.00 am. The office is open for telephone bookings between 8.30 and 9.15 am on those days, or you may book in person at the club ahead of the day. We have a light lunch between about 12.00 and 12.30 pm, and games are usually finished by 2.15 pm. Women are also welcome at the Saturday afternoon sessions, and some mixed games may be played depending on numbers.

 Mixed bowls is played on the first Sunday of each month (a sponsored day with prizes), on one Friday evening each month during daylight saving (with a meal after bowls), and at several special gala days during the year.

New bowlers are always very welcome at Gordon, and it will cost you nothing while you decide whether bowls is for you. We provide the coaching, the greens and the bowls to use. All you require is a pair of sneakers, or other flat soled shoes and casual clothing.

Bowls is a game for young and old, and any time is a good time to start - for example, when you finally get through those years of driving your kids to their weekend sport, and decide it’s time to get a life for yourself!  By the way, many of us play bowls as well as another sport. Because of the frequency of bowls games, it can easily supplement your current sport. So golfers, tennis players, bushwalkers, sailing enthusiasts can all enjoy bowls as well.  Another thing - once you are a registered member you will be welcome socially or for a game at any bowling club in Australia.

Just click on this link to send us an email 

Include your name, address and phone number. One of our membership committee or a coach will contact you to arrange a time for you to take a look at the club and have an introductory bowling lesson.

We look forward to welcoming you to bowls at Gordon.
