INGLEWOOD
The Inglewood Bowling Club hosted the Geelong Friendship Bowls Tour group for lunch on its way to Barham. 
This was the group’s second trip to Inglewood, with the last being in 2018.
When they got to Inglewood, they were in good spirits, hungry and very thirsty. Predict they weren’t so chirpy by the following Friday on their way home. 
The Inglewood Bowls Ladies did a fantastic job of catering and by the time they got to the sweets, one person was heard to yell “Hey fellows there are trifles here”.
The Inglewood Bowling Club are having a practise match against Wedderburn this Sunday, midday start. Uniforms to be worn please and there will be an afternoon tea break.
The club is holding a Black Pepper Fashion Parade on October 17.
