Heytesbury Indoor Bias Bowls Association
SEASON 2024 of Heytesbury Indoor Bias Bowls Association (HIBBA) will kick off at the Simpson Hall next Wednesday, April 17.
The opening night will commence at 7.30pm and all interested players are urged to let their club secretary know as entries will close at 10am on Tuesday (April 16).
One week later, the 2024 pennant season will start (Wednesday, April 24).
This year there will be eight teams in each division - thanks to all clubs for making this happen.
It has been quite a while since this has happened so should make for a good year of bowls on the mat.
Heytesbury is 60 years young this year, with pennant starting in 1964.
The organisation will hold a dinner to celebrate the milestone on Saturday, April 27 at the Cobden Golf Club.
Replies for the 60th birthday celebrations should be in to club secretaries before Saturday, April 20 with $35 for the evening (drinks at bar prices).
Later in the month, the Ballarat Indoor Bowls Association comes to the area once again, and will be held at Simpson Hall on Sunday, May 5.
Entries for that will close on Tuesday, April 30 so let your club secretary know if you want to come and enjoy a good day of bowls with people you don’t normally play with.
It will be an enjoyable day and well worth attending and representing Heytesbury against these northern visitors.
Entries for the VIBBA mens’ and women’s pairs, mens’ and women’s fours and junior singles close on Tuesday, May 7.
These events will be held at Warrnambool Stadium so why not go along and gain valuable experience ahead of Ballarat Intergroup and other events later in the year.
Next week’s report will include results from the opening tournament at Simpson to kick off season 2024.
