Night Owls
The Hope Valley Bowling Club is pleased to advise that it’s Night Owls Program will be available this season.
Registration nights will be held on Tuesday 12th and Thursday 14th October. There is no fee for bowling on these nights. Competition will commence the following week.
Fees are unchanged from last season:
- Registration $35

Encourage your friends and relatives to join in the fun. We had close to 50 teams last season and hope to improve on that this year. Competition is friendly with the emphasis on having fun. It is fair to say that it is not too serious for most bowlers but the competitive spirit is alive and kicking.
As you are aware Covid-19 is still with us and the club has introduced health and safety initiatives for this season.
