Corinella Gets On The Green

What: The official opening of the redeveloped green at the Corinella Bowls Club

By Latrobe City - 29th April 2011 - Back to News

When: Saturday, 30 April at 1.00pm

Where: On the green at the Corinella Bowling Club, 22 Balcombe Street, Corinella

Who: The Hon Ken Smith (MLA), Bass Coast Mayor Veronica Dowman, representatives from Bowls Victoria, South Gippsland Bowls Association and members of the Corinella Bowling Club.

Why: The Club is an important part of the Corinella community, being the only sports club based in the town. The redeveloped green has given current members renewed enthusiasm and they hope will also encourage new members to join.

The old green was over 13 years old and frustrating to participants because of its irregular play. The new green is expected to improve the quality of play dramatically.

How: The $136,000 redevelopment was a joint funded by Sport and Recreation Victoria ($60,000), Bass Coast Shire Council ($10,000) and fundraising by the Corinella Bowls Club.
