Para Hills Bowling Club

For the information of all members. The Metropolitan Bowls Association (MBA) has advised of the Covid-19 Regulations and Planning for the 2020 / 2021 Pennant Season.  The Covid-19 Regulations and Planning for the 2020 / 2021 Pennant Season may be viewed on the Bowls News Page. 

The Night Owls competition for the 2020 / 2021 season has commenced again at the Para Hills Bowling Club. But this does not prevent further teams or individuals attending. We will always find a place for you.  For further information please visit the Bowls News Page

Membership Fees  (Pennant Player Membership)

As members are aware Club membership payments are now due for the 2020 / 21 season. The membership fees in full are listed on the About Us Page.  However, because of the current circumstances in which we all find ourselves, due to the Covid–19 virus, it is recommended that those wishing to renew or obtain membership of the PHBC, only pay  the Associate Membership fee of $120 at this time.  This will cover capitation, green fees and the right to vote at the Annual General Meeting, when it is held. When the 2020/2021 Pennant Season commences, unfortunately at present there is no indication when this may be, membership fees can then be finalised in the form of a pro rata payment.  Obviously when the time comes the pro rata fees will not be the same for all, as this will depend on what fee structure a member has chosen, e.g. a Wednesday only bowler or a Wednesday and Saturday bowler. As previously mentioned, the fee structures may be found on the About Us Page.

Because of the Police Commissioner’s Directive of 31 March 2020 (see below) members will not be able to visit the club to pay their fees in cash or by card.  However, members will still be able to pay by cheque or by an electronic bank transfer.

1. All cheques are to be made payable to the Para Hills Bowling Club
2. On a separate accompanying letter state the name/s on whose behalf the payment is made e.g. J. Smith or J and M Smith or J. Smith and B. Brown
3. State what fee structure the payment is made for, e.g. Thursday and Saturday $270 or Wednesday only $180.  If the payment is for more than one person show the fee structure for each person
4. Please post cheques and accompanying letter to the following address,
