What a great club located here in St Helens! We recently met with Jane, Rodney and Amanda to discuss our support by way of annual event sponsorship again this year. On this same day they had the exciting official opening of their new green - quite an achievement after lots of hard work by the club, so well done!
We were also impressed on how the club has embraced the younger bowlers with success of some of these heading off to West Aust soon to compete in the Under 18 National competition - we wish them good luck and that they are able to bowl well and do the club proud.

We recently visited the St Marys Sports Complex and met with them to advise them of our continued sponsorship funding to them. We would like to thank them for their hospitality and the great discussion from all in attendance. Both bowls and golf activities are available to the community and visitors to the area. We wish them well in the future as they have a great team of volunteers who continue to support the community of St Marys and surrounding areas.

Look who rolled into St Helens this week! 🚐✨

It was absolutely fantastic to see the R U OK? team roll into St Helens this week and support our wonderful community as part of their mission travelling across the state!

Our branch team loved heading out to support them, connect, and hear more about their journey. It’s a wonderful reminder that no matter where we are, looking out for one another and starting those simple, life-changing conversations is what keeps our communities strong.

A massive thank you to the R U OK? crew for making the trip—safe travels on the rest of your state-wide mission! 🗺️💛"
