Wycheproof Bowls Club

Wycheproof Bowls Club, located in Buloke Shire, is a thriving sports club that offers its members the opportunity to enjoy a range of activities and social events. Established in 1958, the club is proud of its rich history and has been a significant part of the local community for over six decades.

The club hosts regular men's, ladies', and mixed social matches on its three outdoor greens, consisting of two grass greens and one synthetic green known as the “Founder's Green. ” With lighting installed, play can be enjoyed day and night, making it ideal for all seasons. Additionally, the club has a four-rink carpeted green located beneath the clubhouse, providing a convenient space for coaching and practise.

Aside from bowls, Wycheproof Bowls Club offers a vibrant social atmosphere. The clubhouse, capable of seating over 160 members, players, or guests, is the venue for various social events, including the popular Friday Night Bistro. The bistro serves 60-80 counter meals, providing a great opportunity for members to relax and enjoy delicious food and drinks in a welcoming environment.

For those interested in competitive play, members can participate in Club Championship events or join the Midweek (Tuesday) and Weekend (Saturday) Pennants in the Geelong Bowls Region competition. Last year, the club achieved a remarkable feat with all seven Pennant teams reaching the finals, including the Division 1 Pennant team winning the topship and moving up to the leading League, the top grade for the region.

In recent years, Wycheproof Bowls Club has made a concerted effort to attract a more diverse membership base, particularly younger individuals. The club actively promotes its social bowls activities, such as Crackerjack and Barefoot Bowls, to encourage community engagement and introduce new people to the sport. The friendly and inclusive atmosphere at the club, combined with recent Pennant success and popular post-game wrap events, has fostered strong friendships and a sense of camaraderie among members.
