Farewell to 77 years of turf
The Kilcoy Bowls Club is on the verge of completing a major transformation to its green, as the long awaited installation of a new artificial surface is nearly finished.
After 77 years of hosting bowlers on its grass green, the club said goodbye to its beloved turf in late December and is ushering in a new era of play with a synthetic surface.
The installation work, which paused briefly over the Christmas and New Year holidays, resumed in January, and members are eagerly anticipating the re-opening of the green.
The weather will play a key role in ensuring the project wraps up smoothly and as quickly as possible, and the club has promised to keep members updated as the work progresses.
To mark the occasion and celebrate the end of an era, the club hosted a special event on December 14 – ‘Turf the Turf’.
The green was transformed into a lively beer garden, with games, fun activities, and plenty of socializing. Attendees enjoyed an afternoon of nostalgia as they bid farewell to the grass green that had served them for nearly eight decades.
As the club nears the final stages of installation, members are reminded that there will be no bowls until works are completed.
