No Bistro this Wednesday? No worries… we’ve got you covered!
With the Bistro on Bywong taking a short break while our chef enjoys a well-earned week off, we’ve invited our old friends from Best of the Wurst to roll into the club on Wednesday, 12th August.
Better yet, it’s the Ekka Public Holiday, so if you’ve got the day off, why not spend part of it at the club?
Best of the Wurst will be serving their Famous German Street Food from the car park, with loaded bratwursts, kranskys, currywurst, pork knuckle, pretzels and more on the menu.
Whether you’re stopping in after the Ekka, escaping the crowds, enjoying a roll on the green, or simply looking for a great feed and a cold drink, we’d love to see you.
Check out the menu above and we’ll see you on Wednesday!
We’re excited to welcome Richard Waterson back to Acoustic Sundayz this weekend.
From classic favourites to modern hits, Richard’s setlist is the perfect soundtrack for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Gather your friends, grab a drink, and settle in – the music kicks off at 2:00pm.
Please note that the Bistro on Bywong will be closed this Sunday.
However, you’re more than welcome to bring along a cheese platter or your favourite nibbles, or even order in from one of the many local takeaway options while you enjoy the afternoon.
We look forward to seeing you for another fantastic Acoustic Sunday!

About When the Party’s Over
Natalie knows her life looks perfect from the outside: Three young children, a loving husband, the tastefully renovated Eastern Suburbs cottage. So why does she feel so suffocated?
On her 36th birthday, all Natalie wants is to gather her two best friends and leave their responsibilities behind just for one night. But when the party’s over, she finds eighteen-month-old Toby clutching an unmistakable colourful tablet – with a quarter missing.
Celebrating books and reading, Books on Bywong is a regular event for book lovers hosted by Sally Wilson.
Each month a guest author takes readers behind the scenes of their book, discussing their inspiration, writing process and publishing journey, as well as their top reading recommendations.
There is no obligation to have read the book, simply come along to enjoy the bookish conversation, pick up some new book recommendations and enjoy a relaxed evening at the West Toowong Bowls Club.
Books will be available for purchase thanks to our friends at Avid Reader and of course, the bar will be open!

Congratulations to Sue Goode and Marileine Fox on becoming our 2026 Ladies Pairs Champions. Commiserations to Sam Walker and Gayleen Trevaskis, who played a strong game and were worthy opponents throughout the match…
It was an enjoyable contest to watch, with plenty of quality bowls and competitive play on display. Well done to all four ladies on a great final and for representing the club so well.
Congratulations to our Men’s Senior Pennants Team on their semi-final victory against an undefeated Ferny Grove side at Ferny Grove.
It was a closely contested match that went right down to the final end, with Dave Allen, Bill Pacey and Lloyd Lyndon securing the win in a tiebreaker to send West Toowong through to the final.
Congratulations to Dave, Bill and Lloyd, and to everyone who has represented the club throughout the competition. It has been a true team effort, and this result reflects the commitment and contribution of all players involved.
Last Sunday’s Bowling for Millie community day was another exciting and heartfelt event, bringing our community together in support of Epilepsy Queensland and families living with epilepsy.
With Bistro on Bywong open and serving burgers throughout the day, live music all afternoon from The Basmentalists and Smashed Arvo, and auctions hosted by Brett Andreassen of Plum Property, the day was filled with laughter, warmth, generosity and genuine community from start to finish. What a turnout!
This year’s event raised $14,907, contributing to a remarkable four-year fundraising total of $67,000 through Bowling for Millie.
At the heart of it all is Millie, and the reality that she and her family live with every day. In honour of Millie, her father, Tim, continues to drive this event forward with strength, kindness and determination, helping raise both funds and awareness for a cause that means so much to so many families.
What Tim is doing for Epilepsy Queensland helps the team continue providing support for other families navigating this incredibly complex diagnosis, and the West Toowong Bowls Club is honoured to play a part in that inspirational goal.
As a club, we are not only proud to host the day, but so proud of the community that gets behind it so eagerly Events like this only happen because of the people who care, show up, donate, volunteer and give generously.
A sincere thank you goes to everyone who supported this year’s event, including our staff and bowls members, and the many individuals, businesses and organisations who donated prizes and experiences for the day’s raffles and auctions.
Special thanks to Toowong Village Meats for donating the premium meat trays valued at over $200 each, helping generate an outstanding $5,000 through the sale of 1,000 raffle tickets.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Oatley Wines for their exquisite bottles donated for auction. To Lion Nathan XXXX Brewery for generously donating a keg & cartons of beer with all proceeds from sales going to the cause. To Sirromet Winery who donated an overnight stay and breakfast at one of their luxurious cabins. and to Vadals who donated a collection of premium Tramontina knives.
A very special thank you also goes to those whose contributions added such a personal and meaningful touch to the day, including Millie’s own paintings, Sammie’s handmade quilt auction, and Rosie Pacey’s handmade teddies.
The West Toowong Bowls Club is deeply honoured to stand beside Tim, Millie and their family in support of such an important cause.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s event possible, and to everyone who attended!
