Members of Central Coast Leagues Indoor Bowling Club (CCLIBC) recently competed in the Australian National Indoor Bowling Championships held in South Australia.
Recently celebrating its 70th anniversary, 12 players formed part of the 56 strong NSW team with two of the CCLIBC players, Anthony and Annika van Lierop, winning bronze medals in the men’s and women’s singles respectively.
Club spokesperson Frank Wiffen said that while indoor bowls was often seen as the “poor relation” of lawn bowls in Australia, it had a lot to offer and was becoming increasingly popular.
“The club is open to everyone regardless of age, gender and ability,” he said.
“We have players under 10 years and over 90.
“There is a great social atmosphere, and everyone has a lot of fun.
“New members are always welcome, and we can be contacted via Central Coast Leagues Club.”
Regular bowling sessions take place weekly on Monday mornings and Wednesday evenings.
