Healesville Corporate Bowls Challenge

Corporate Bowls Challenge with businesses from all over Healesville and surrounds have joined to play for the Inaugural Charles Hort Trophy, whom was a long standing member of the club and up standing member of the Healesville community.

Some 18 teams were part of the Corporate Challenge which not only brings many local business people together but also their families and kids to make the night a real fun event.

Everybody not only gets to bowl but to also meet new people and have a fun night enjoying a drink and the famous BBQ snags that everyone talks about, cooked by a couple of ex Army cooks, Chris and Mike.

A raffle for the meat tray and bottle of wine is also hotly contested.

This year a few rinks decided to dress up for the occasion by wearing their own personal matching outfits that certainly didn’t go unnoticed, especially the Watermelon Boys who seriously looked the part.

In the next Corporate Challenge later in the year we will certainly have a handsome prize for the best dressed rink during the challenge.

It takes a lot of work to put the Challenge together, so I would Like to thank all the Club Members who helped out every week to make the Challenge successful.

If your local business is interested in challenging for the Charles Hort trophy later in the year, please contact Ian Milgate on 0418288037 for details of the next Challenge later in the year. It is held on Wednesday nights from 6.00pm for 6 weeks plus finals.

If you have a couple of hours to spare next Wednesday night 16 March, come on down to the Bowls club from 6.00pm and see how much fun it is including seeing the 2 finalist teams play off for the Charles Hort Trophy.
