Invitation for Young Veterans Toowoomba:
Invitation to Toowoomba ESO Annual Social Bowls Competition
Hello Toowoomba ESO’s,
Harlaxton RSL Sub Branch would like to invite all Toowoomba Ex-Service Organisations to join us in the annual ESO Social Bowls Competition for 2026. The competition started in 2024 at the Grand Opening of Northies Toowoomba. ESO’s entered teams of four players in a social bowls event playing for the Merv. & Tom Walter Memorial Trophy donated by the Toowoomba Branch RAAFA, and a cheque for $100.00 for their ESO donated by Northies Toowoomba.
The purpose of the event is to promote social interaction between local ESO’s and raise awareness of Northies Toowoomba’s aim to create a community and veteran hub at the North Toowoomba Bowls Club precinct. The day was a success and we decided to create an annual event, with 2025 attracting even more ESO’s.

Details for the 2026 event:
Date: Sunday 25th of October.
Will be a sunset competition commencing at 4pm.
Will be a Round Robin Competition between all participating ESO’s.
One team of four players from each ESO bowling two bowls per player.
Four ends per match.
Standard lawn bowls rules, socially relaxed for the competition.
All ESO’s are invited to bring your supporting spectators as well to cheer your teams on. Spectators are welcome to join in the nibbles and non-alcoholic drinks.

Timetable on the day:
Participants arrive at 3.30pm for check in and briefing.
First session will bowl from 4.00pm to 5.00pm.
From 5.00pm to 5.30pm players will enjoy a selection of tasty nibbles.
Second session will bowl from 5.30pm to 6.30pm.
Scores will be tallied and presentations will be made at around 7.00pm.
The winning team members will have their names engraved on the Merv. & Tom Walter Memorial Trophy. The winning team will also be presented with a cheque for $100.00 for their ESO from Northies Toowoomba. There is also a perpetual Wooden Spoon presentation.

Catering by Harlaxton RSL members.
Northies will be asked to open their bar facility.
There will be a bar tab for non-alcoholic drinks: soft drink, juice and coffee.
