Registrations are open for the 2025 NRL Footy tipping comp at The West Toowong Bowls Club!
Registration is $35.00, and after a tight finish last year the competition couldn’t be more fierce!
Get in now to secure your place, simply ask at the bar and we’ll be sure to get you on the books.
And of course, a big thanks to our lovely Val for her dedication to running and organising the comp each year.
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!

Our new herb garden is shaping up quite well, transforming into a vibrant oasis of greenery right in our backyard.
We’re excited to see how quickly Luke from Bistro On Bywong will be able to cultivate his own selection of fresh herbs and vegetables, adding even more flavor and variety to his culinary creations.
This project has truly been a community effort, and we want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Michael Berkman, the Greens MP for Maiwar, whose generous grant made it possible for us to purchase high-quality garden soil and mulch.
These essential materials are crucial for establishing a healthy and thriving garden.
Additionally, we owe a big shoutout to our dedicated volunteer, Ian Plowman, whose ingenuity and hard work led to the creation of a possum-proof cover for the garden.
This thoughtful design will help protect our plants from any pesky intruders, ensuring that they have the best chance to flourish.
Together, we are building something special that will not only enhance our local environment but also support sustainable practices in our community.
We can’t wait to see how the garden grows and to share its bounty with everyone!

On Sunday, the 24th of March, the West Toowong Bowls Club had the honor of hosting the 2nd Annual Bowling for Millie fundraiser, organized by Tim from Toowong Village Meats.
This special event was in support of Epilepsy Queensland, a cause close to our hearts, and we were thrilled to see such incredible community spirit on display.
The afternoon was filled with fun and laughter, as attendees enjoyed barefoot bowls, live music, dancing, and a classic BBQ.
Highlights of the day included the mega meat tray raffle, and the exciting top-prize auctions, where some extraordinary sporting memorabilia were up for grabs.
The energy and enthusiasm were contagious, creating an atmosphere of generosity and camaraderie that will be remembered dearly.
We are thrilled to announce that, as of today, we have raised an astounding $13,285.43 for Epilepsy Queensland—and that figure is still climbing as more donations continue to come in!
We’ve also just received a call from Epilepsy Queensland, who were deeply touched by the outpouring of support.
They wanted to pass along their heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making this day such a huge success.
Events like Bowling for Millie remind us of the incredible impact we can have when we come together for a worthy cause.
A huge thank you to all the participants, donors, volunteers, and local businesses for your generosity and for helping make this day truly special.
