Burwood District Looking For New Recruits

Burwood District Bowls Club is looking for new members to join up and help strengthen our depth to strive for further on green success. Our Division 1 Side has won their section back to back but are just failing at the last hurdle to get into Premier Division.
We are looking for bowlers of a Division 1 standard of any age that can help to get to where we want to be.
The club has 14 qualified accredited coaches who actively oversee the development and the fine tuning of players to help achieve their own personal, team and club goals.
Last season Burwood District had 11 out of the 17 selected players, represent Group 13 in the Group Championships in Corowa. We have the potential to go far but we still require that "missing element" to go that extra step.
No positions in the top side are "set in stone" and the club will be selecting the best and in form possible 16 players each week.
If you are interested in being a part of a successful club and want to take up the challenge of help lifing a club from Division 1 into Premier Division then come and join us and experience our magnificent garden sourroundings and our two brand new greens in 2008/09.
