Host Venues Confirmed for 2022/23 State Events

by admin

Host venues for the majority of the 2022/23 Bowls NSW State Events have been confirmed, and Bowls NSW thanks all clubs who submitted Expressions of Interest to host. With most events receiving EOIs from multiple clubs it was a difficult decision to confirm the host venues.

We encourage those clubs who have not been allocated to host upcoming events, as well as clubs who are considering hosting future events, to ensure they reapply when the next EOI’s are opened.

Bowls NSW is pleased to announce the following host venues:
