Lawn Bowls for the Ladies

The Home Hill Community Sports Club, in partnership with the Department of Sport & Recreation, is launching a new Barefoot Bowls program aimed at boosting female participation in lawn bowls. The weekly event invites women of all ages to enjoy the game in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

Running every Wednesday evening from April 23 to May 28, 2025, the program will be held at the Home Hill Community Sports Club. Registration is open before 6pm each week.

The night kicks off with a free sausage sizzle at 6:30pm, followed by bowls at 7pm under the stars on the locally renowned Rumney Green. With music playing and the barefoot format removing the need for any special gear, it’s a perfect way to try the sport for the first time or return to it in a social setting.

The initiative is part of a broader push to make lawn bowls more accessible and inclusive. Whether you're a seasoned player or brand new to the game, all women are welcome to come down, have a roll, and enjoy a night of friendly competition and community spirit.
