It’s definitely "pie and pastry" weather out there! 🌧️🥧

If you’re feeling the chill, head into our major sponsors, Banjo’s Longford. Check out their new NED KELLY pie—it’s the perfect way to warm up!

Honestly, they are a fantastic team, and you’ll always get top-class service along with delicious, fresh food and drinks.

If you need a drink to go with that new pie, their chai lattes are a personal favorite and absolutely top-tier! Let’s get behind the local businesses that support us.

See you there! ☕🥧

Monday hit hard 🥱? The cure? A hot NEW Ned Kelly Pie fresh from Banjo’s 🔥. Available till July 14.

A huge thank you to everyone who stepped up to join the Longford Bowls & Community Club board this year!

We want to express our deepest gratitude to Phil (Bucky) Buchanan for his incredible service as President. Bucky, your dedication has been unmatched. From being the first person called when help is needed, to the countless hours you’ve spent at the club—often at the expense of your own family time—you’ve truly been the heartbeat of this place. Thank you for your tireless dedication, your leadership, and for always putting our club first. Joey, you certainly have big shoes to fill, and we are excited for this next chapter!

A special thank you also goes to Doug and Leslie for your wonderful support and participation during your time on the board. We truly appreciate everything you’ve contributed.

To our new board members: let’s make this a year to remember! Let’s work together to make our club a true home—a place where everyone is accepted, where divisions don’t matter, and where we are united by our shared passion for bowls and this community.

Here’s to a fantastic year making memories together! 🥂

Great to see our two juniors out getting their state training drills completed.

Our juniors make a big commitment when being part of the state squad, there are many training sessions as a squad and also drills that must be completed fortnightly.

Keep going Fletcher and Immy, we hope your hard work pays off and we see you both named in the state team!

BOWLS TASMANIA LIFE MEMBERSHIP - MARK STROCHNETTER

Today, we proudly celebrate one of the great contributors and competitors in Tasmanian bowls history, with Bowls Tasmania awarding Life Membership to Mark Strochnetter (pictured with Bowls Tasmania President Lynne McDougall) following the 2025/26 Bowls Tasmania AGM.

Known to many as “Stal” or “Stallion”, Mark has been a defining figure in Tasmanian bowls for almost three decades. Since making his Tasmanian debut in 1998, he has represented our state with distinction, passion, and consistency, recently becoming the most capped Tasmanian representative player in history, currently sitting at 349 Representative Games.

Mark’s achievements speak for themselves, Australian representative honours, national titles, Tasmanian championships, countless pennants, and an enduring presence at the highest level of the sport. But beyond the accolades, it is his contribution to the culture and growth of bowls in Tasmania that makes this recognition so deserving.

Mark’s career achievements are remarkable, including:
🏆 Australian Representative (2003)
🏆 Australian Super Singles Champion (2002)
🏆 Australian Open Pairs Champion (2006)
🏆 Tasmanian Open Singles Champion (2006 & 2009)
🏆 Tasmanian Bowler of the Year (2007 & 2009)
🏆 Multiple State and Northern titles across singles, pairs, triples and fours
🏆 349 appearances representing Tasmania
🏆 Premiership success across Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales

From mentoring teammates, coaching emerging talent, serving on the BTAS Board, leading the inaugural Tasmania Tridents BPL team as coach, and representing Longford Bowls & Community Club with pride, Mark has continually given back to the sport that has shaped so much of his life.

Life Membership is awarded only in exceptional circumstances to those whose service and contribution leave a lasting impact on bowls in Tasmania. Mark Strochnetter is unquestionably one of those people.

Congratulations Mark, and thank you for everything you have given to our sport.
