Beats and Bowls December 2024

POSTED ON 13 Dec 2024

On Friday 6 December, we held the Yanchep Beats and Bowls event at Yanchep Sport and Social Club. We had a fantastic time with 36 people attending on a beautiful warm evening. To kick off the event, a member of the Bowls Club, who was also a Yanchep Golf Estate resident, talked through the intricacies of lawn bowls, got the teams organised and we were away.

The teams played together, whilst chatting and meeting new people. We learned the estate has a previous state bowls champion and there are a few young ones showing a knack for the game. Afterwards, residents sat together and enjoyed the food and a few drinks whilst chatting.

Thank you to those who attended, we wish everyone a happy festive season and look forward to seeing you again in the New Year.
