Proserpine Indoor Bowls Club Welcomes New Leadership

The Proserpine Indoor Bowls Club is excited to welcome its new president, Joe Laski, who has been a dedicated member of the club since 2016. Joe took over the role of president last year, following in the footsteps of his predecessor, and long-standing president of 50 years, Vivian. This year, Lesleyrose King has joined the leadership team as the club's new Secretary and Treasurer, stepping in after Vivian's wife, Jan, concluded her service.

Joe’s passion for the club is clear, emphasising that the focus is on giving the game a go and enjoying the sport rather than competing for trophies. “We just play for the fun,” he says, describing atmosphere of the laid-back games held every Tuesday afternoon. The games start at 2pm, includes a tea and biscuit break and typically conclude by 4pm.

Lesleyrose, who brings a community-focused mindset to her new roles, notes that the club is a welcoming space for all skill levels. “Anyone can play,” she affirms, highlighting the inclusivity of the club. Whether you're a seasoned bowler or a newcomer, the Proserpine Indoor Bowls Club is eager to welcome you.

The club offers affordable membership options, with casual play costing just $4 and a full membership available for $5, which covers weekly play and goes towards the festivities of the club’s Christmas party. The club also operates year-round, with only a brief break around Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

The Proserpine Indoor Bowls Club has been a cornerstone of community activity for many years, with long-time members like Evelyn Jarrott, who has been with the club for over 22 years, ensuring a strong sense of continuity.

If you're looking for a fun, friendly community activity, come join the Proserpine Indoor Bowls Club. With great company, an inclusive atmosphere, and a commitment to having fun, it's the perfect place for new and returning bowlers alike without the worries of the weather withholding your chances to play a great game of bowls!
