Club renovations are officially open

Member for Peats, Ms Marie Andrews, has officially opened the $2.5 million renovations to the Woy Woy Bowling Club.

"Woy Woy Bowling Club now has a synthetic green which allows bowls to be played even in inclement weather," she said.

"This makes the club the first bowling club on the Peninsula to have a synthetic green."

The interior of the club was renovated to include more spacious and pleasant eating areas and an improved bar area.

"Sunday, June 10, was a proud day for the director of the board, Mr John Gardner, for his fellow directors, for the current secretary manager, Mr Warwick Smith, and the past secretary manager, Mr Trevor Haynes, who had travelled from Port Macquarie to be at the opening," Ms Andrews said.

Life members of the club present at the opening included Kevin O'Brien, Jack Parkinson, Albert Heartland, Bill Goodwin, Edna Browne, Lal Wright and Eileen Ryan.

"Woy Woy Bowling Club is a very community-minded club and is supportive of many local organisations including The Central Coast Naval Association, the Lions Clubs of the Woy Woy Peninsula, the Pelicans Fishing Club, Marine Watch and the RSPCA."

Speaking in State Parliament, Ms Andrews said: "All the people who were involved in the renovations should be congratulated on a job well done.

"The work carried out has greatly enhanced the club, while simultaneously retaining the club's reputation as the friendly club by the water."
