State Carnival Returns to Forster for 2025
Bowls NSW is excited to confirm that the much-loved State Carnival will return to the Manning Great Lakes Region from 5-9 May 2025.
Following the success of the 2024 event, which attracted more than 900 women from across the country, the Manning Great Lakes Region will again welcome players with Forster Bowling Club securing the rights as the main host venue.
The five-day festival of bowls remains a standout fixture on the annual calendar, providing the perfect mix of competition and socialising in one event.
The event, played in the fours format, is open to all female bowlers from anywhere in Australia, with no requirement for players to belong to the same club. Participants are guaranteed three days of play at various venues, with the final two days of post-sectional play set to take place at Forster.
Forster, Hallidays Sports, Pacific Palms, Club West Taree, Old Bar, Taree Leagues, Tuncurry Forster Sports, and Tuncurry Beach Bowling Clubs are all locked in as venues, with the possibility of additional venues to be added to the event.
Entries open on Tuesday, 5th November, so get ready to join the action!
