As the chills of winter make way for the glorious sunshine of summer, local bowls clubs are coming out of hibernation ahead of their seasons.
Myrtleford Bowls Club recently held their opening day, when president Graeme Piazza welcomed back players and extended a special welcome to a healthy number of newcomers to the club.
He added prospects for the coming season looked promising where in the Ovens and Murray Pennant competition more than 70 Myrtleford players will be vying for positions in Weekend A1, B1 and B2 levels and Midweek A1 and B1 competitions.
The pennant season will commence on 11 October, while where the more relaxed and social Barefoot Bowls new season will commence on 4 November.
The year will also be peppered with tournaments and club events.
