West Toowong Bowls Club was proud to host “Bowling for Millie 2025”, a heartfelt and high-energy charity bowls event in support of Epilepsy Queensland.
Our amazing community came together in a big way, raising a fantastic $15,320 to help fund essential services and advocacy for people living with epilepsy.
One of the standout moments of the day was the grand entrance of Millie, who arrived in a spectacular purple Kenworth T909 semi-trailer.
This eye-catching truck, driven by Brad Hoadley, is a symbol of epilepsy awareness that travels across four states, spreading a powerful message of hope and education.
Adding even more colour and warmth to the day was our very own Rosie, a beloved member of the West Toowong community.
Rosie crocheted and sold an incredible array of handmade plushies, clothing, rugs, and more, raising hundreds of dollars through her craft stall.
Rosie was joined on the day by her 3 beautiful granddaughters, who helped facilitate the sale of these well-crafted items.
Her talent and heart brought a personal touch to the event and reminded us of the difference one passionate person can make.
Hosted by Brett Andreasson of Plum Property, the Live Auction was a huge hit, with a wide variety of generously donated items up for grabs, including:
The atmosphere was brought to life with live music throughout the day, featuring performances from The Basmentalists, as well as the club’s very own talented musicians, Clint and Jamie.
Their tunes set the perfect tone and kept spirits high from start to finish.
As a further part of our fundraising efforts, 10% of all food sales at the club on the day were donated to Epilepsy Queensland.
Whether guests were enjoying a bite to eat, bidding in the auction, or just soaking up the vibrant atmosphere, every contribution helped support this vital cause.
It was truly a day to remember for the Brisbane community, full of laughter, generosity, and purpose.
Events like Bowling for Millie showcase the heart of the West Toowong Bowls Club—bringing people together to support important causes through connection, community, and fun.
Thank you to everyone who donated, attended, or played a part in making this day so impactful.
Together, we’re helping raise awareness for epilepsy and support those affected in Queensland and beyond.
The Merlo Coffee Cup has commenced, starting on February 1st.
The West Toowong Bowls Club has entered teams in Division 2 Red, and Division 3 Red.

This year so far, in Round 1 The Div 2 team had a loss 63 – 45 against Enogerra and the Div 3 team has had a solid 68 – 36 win against Ferny Grove, capturing 5 points.
We can’t wait to see what happens next, and wish our bowlers the best of luck as the competition progresses!

Our little bar has been holding us up for many a year now, she’s had a few different faces over that time, and after all this hard work she’d become a little weary.
Thankfully we were only too happy to show her a little love!
We’ve gone ahead and refurbed the whole thing, replacing bar surfaces for staff and customers alike.
Whilst the main structure remains the same, she’s been reworked for function and appearance on both sides, removing the tiles on the front and replacing with a strong poly-vinyl covering.
We think the simple yet modern look is both fantastic and functional, and we invite you along to come and give her a try!
Further congratulations go to Cam and Sean, winners of the local’s efforts to be the first in line to trial the new bar at her opening, christening her with a couple of cold ones!
Well done lads!

A big congratulations to Dave Ravlich, who claimed the title of Open B Singles Champion at West Toowong Bowls Club with a 25-13 win over Jim Walker.
