Grantham and Laidley indoor bowlers united on Friday, 7 June for casual games at the Gatton Senior Citizens Centre.

Lockyer Indoor Bowls Associate president Ken Windolf said the region used to have seven clubs, but numbers have dwindled over the years.

“We’re losing numbers, unfortunately,” Mr Windolf said.

“About four times a year we come together and we have a meeting of the clubs.

“This is good because you get a few more bowlers, we get a good mixture of people and have a good time.”

Mr Windolf encouraged more people to join the clubs.

The Grantham club plays at the Senior Citizens Centre in Gatton each Friday from 1:30-3:30pm.

“Laidley should be playing at the Laidley Cultural Centre, but it’s under repair, so we’re playing at Forest Hill in the hall at the moment,” Mr Windolf said.

They play from 2:30pm on Tuesdays.

“People can just show up and talk to us, we’ll take anybody,” Mr Windolf said.
