Out and About

Graeme Ott (Managing Director) at GMHBA Stadium, promoting lawn bowls for upcoming family day "Sports Festival" - for all ages, to be held at Kardina Park this Sunday from 11am.

Photo with Panda, from MIc Macs, who will be there Sunday.

and another thing ....

Visible presence = promotion, recruiting, & sponsorship

After two recent practice matches, 3 Highton bowlers (in club uniform / social shirts) visited the Highton Village Shops for 5-10 mins of quick shopping, the following week 5 more Highton bowlers (in club uniform / social shirts) visited the Highton Shops for 5-10 mins quick shopping. As our bowlers walked around the shops their uniform presence was highly visible and attracted the attention of locals and sponsors. Subsequent feedback to the club was good, those brief uniformed visits helped to raise the club profile and created favourable interest. Accordingly, we are happy to encourage more Highton bowlers to pay brief visits (in club uniform / social shirts) to the Highton shops, hopefully our brief uniform visits will promote our club and also help to increase our membership and sponsorship.
