“Partnering with Bowls WA is not just about lawn bowls; it’s about exercise, social connections, and inclusivity for all abilities. We understand the impact of community-based activities and we are excited to support Bowls WA in their mission to foster vibrant, active, and engaged communities,” said Russell.

Your local bowl-o, whether you take a roll or simply come down to watch and chat, can be a fantastic place to connect with others in the local community.”
