Paynesville Bowls Club season gets pre-election $250,000 commitment for new synthetic green from Tim Bull MP
In officially opening the new Paynesville Bowls Club season on Sunday, Gippsland East Nationals MP, Tim Bull had some good news for the many club members in attendance.
Gippsland East Nationals MP, Tim Bull announced a pre-election commitment of $250,000 for a new synthetic green at the club, an outcome members have been seeking for some time. "A number of clubs in the region are installing synthetic greens for various reasons, but at the top of that list is the pressure on volunteer members to maintain grass greens and the ability to have more playing days in periods of wet weather."

Members' strong advocation
Mr Bull said, "I was first approached about this by club members on grand final day last year at Lakes Entrance and then we had follow-up meetings both in my office and at the Paynesville club, where the plans and costings were outlined in detail. Full credit to the club members who have advocated so strongly for this, and if elected to Government in November, it will be a pleasure to deliver this project.
"Paynesville is a growing club in a growing community and what was especially pleasing to see on Sunday was the amount of juniors who are participating and many are already representing the region, which is a feather in their cap."
"Bowls clubs, and all sporting clubs in our community for that matter, play an important role in bringing people together for social interaction, which we know brings many benefits, so we need to make sure facilities are in place to meet future needs," he said.
