Melbourne Cup Day

The Melbourne Cup Medley day was a great success, with a full green of players. Members played triples and singles, then lunch, pairs and pairs, then after the cup was run and won, Fours. Many had success on the green, some had success on the sweeps or Quinella. Ladies and gents won the hat parade, a lot of fun was had! Ashburton Bowls Club, the place to enjoy Lawn Bowls!

End of Season Trip 2006-2007


During May, some members of the Club took up the offer of an organized End of Season Trip – to the greater Gippsland Lakes area of Victoria.


Those who attended enjoyed their time away, ably led by our Coach Captain! Highlights include a sing-a-long with Guitar and Madeline in Bruthen, travelling along the Silt Jetties, seeing wild Kangaroos, Wallabies, Koalas and more wildlife, enjoying great food and good spirits!


Following the success of this venture, it is anticipated the Club will organize a similar outing to a new location next year.



Ashburton Christmas Party

The rooms were decorated, tables looked grand, People arriving for sherries and nibbles, A great evening ahead was planned.
Money was taken, the food smelt superb, What was going on, the locals asked, That filled the car parks in the suburb?
It was the Ashy Bowls Christmas party, Why people were all dressed up. Locals also wanted to be invited.
Ken and his catering core were officiating, With Liz as MC, The band was striking a chord, and entertaining.
Spit Roast with all the trimmings, And jokes to entertain the masses, The Ashy group has fun partying.
Everyone had their fill of food and a good time, The dancing was a treat! Who wasn’t in on that long Congo line?
Thanks to all who organized and planned, It went off a hoot, Here’s to a Merry Christmas, And a Jolly New Year, to boot!



New ramp for lower green.


During the winter period, a Ramp was installed by the City of Boroondara, allowing easy access for our Members to the lower green.

This new feature at the Club is very welcome, our thanks to the Council for their continued support and development of the facilities of the Club, it will allow the Club to offer the full Club for all members, able bodied or not.

The Ramp has 3 levels, and has replaced steps, at the North and West of the Green.

ASHY DASHERS win VRI bowls triples championship again!


During August, the VRI Bowls Club ran its biennial Club Triples Championship. A number of Ashburton Players entered, as members also of the VRI Bowls Club.

We were successfully represented – with 2 of our teams making it to the semi- finals, unfortunately they played each other, and so only one went through to the Grand Final.

Bob Dickson (lead), Noel Fitzgerald (second) and Tony Villani (Skip), were successful in winning their Third Consecutive Triples Championship in the VRI, defeating a team from Sunshine in the Final.
The Winners are Grinners (as shown in this photo).

Well Done Ashburton!!
