Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

Part of the local community since the 1920s, Blackburn Bowls Club on Pakenham Street runs two grass greens and one synthetic green. Beyond pennant sides and member events, it opens the lot to private hire for birthdays, work functions and family get-togethers.

Floodlights keep the synthetic green playable until 10pm, which makes an after-work or evening bowls party easy to fit in.

Pieces you can combine in a Blackburn hire:

  • The synthetic green under lights, with bowls sets lent free and an instructor to teach newcomers.
  • A function hall seating roughly 120, arranged however you like as long as it's put back afterwards.
  • The club's P/A and audio-visual gear for speeches and presentations.
  • An outdoor entertaining area beside the clubhouse.
  • A commercial kitchen stocked with crockery, cutlery and equipment.

Quotes come from the club's functions manager, and a booking form confirms the date.

Feeding and watering the crowd

  • Self-cater or bring in a professional caterer to use the kitchen.
  • The hire manager can walk you or your caterer through the space beforehand.
  • The liquor licence rules out BYO, so drinks come from the club bar.
  • Carlton Draught and Great Northern are on tap, with wine, spirits and soft drinks, and particular drinks can be ordered in with five days' notice.

Bowls without a private booking

  • Wednesday Night Owls is open to everyone.
  • Friday night barefoot bowls runs between January and March.
  • Both public sessions are a low-key way to try the green before booking a party.
  • Pennant sides and member events fill the rest of the club calendar.
