The club extends its gratitude to the Community Bank for their continued support.
The club also recently had the pleasure of meeting Warren Gryphon, the Regional Bowls Manager, to discuss strategies for increasing sports participation and retaining existing members. This productive meeting emphasised the club's commitment to providing an inclusive and vibrant bowling community.
Furthermore, The Yarragon Bowling Club has embraced sustainability by installing solar panels on its premises.
