Big thank you to all the legends that rocked up to the 2025/26 presentations. About 40 people came to Novar Gardens bowls club and all had a ball.
Congratulations to the winners of sailing and the winners of bowls.
The association put a bbq lunch well cooked by Mitto, then enjoyed the hospitality.
Next stop is frostbite, if the committee can help you in anyway or your looking for a crew let us know!

Luke Stephens, Matt Hansen and Ryan Kelly, sit by your phones. After winning Australia's biggest sailing event (slightly bias) surley you walk onto this campaign.

Let’s all make an effort on Sunday to attend the state presentation night kicking off at 12pm at the Novar gardens bowling club. All welcome to celebrate our youngest ever state champ and all the great things this class achieved last year.
