“Randburg Bowls Club is a vibrant, dynamic, yet competitive bowls club that caters for all levels of bowlers. This tournament is just one of the many activities that we put on every year to attract new bowlers to this challenging sport. We offer free coaching, and are attracting younger members all the time. We will welcome anybody wanting to join the club, whether a novice or an experienced bowler,” said Estelle Greyling, ladies club captain and head of the organising committee.
