TRY BOWLS MONTH – OCTOBER 2023

Bowls Tasmania would like to encourage each of the regions and all clubs in Tasmania undertake activities aimed at attracting new members as part of ITS annual TRY BOWLS MONTH which will be held throughout October 2023.

All clubs are encouraged to support Bowls Tasmania’s Try Bowls Month during October 2023 by holding some form of event at your club as a part of a state-wide push to entice new people to try our sport.

The Try Bowls Month gives clubs more flexibility in what sort of Try Bowls activity will best suit their club. Clubs simply need to register if they will be taking part in Try Bowls Month and what date/s time/s you will be offering this. Some examples could be if you are offering this in conjunction with your clubs Opening Day, your club might pick a Sunday in October, you might offer every Friday night between certain times etc. or a mixture of these. This could be an Open Day, Barefoot Bowls Session, Bring a Friend Day, Bring a Relative, Family Fun Day, Community Day, fancy dress theme or whatever you may like to call it that you think may be popular in your area. This is a really great opportunity for your club to decide what will work best for your club and location and do it.

Clubs that register to participate in the Try Bowls Month with Bowls Tasmania will receive the following:

• Digital posters & video commercial to promote through you clubs website and social media platforms.

• Promotion on the Bowls Tasmania website and social media platforms.

• Detailed advice on conducting a successful Try Bowls Day or event.

Acquisition of new members is vitally important to the health and wellbeing of all clubs. Without new members, our clubs will stagnate and die. So please try to run at least one activity at your club during Try Bowls Month.
