Our 2025/26 season began in September, and we have already enjoyed some success in our social games against teams from other APS alumni associations and the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC). These are organised by the MCC and played on Wednesdays on their grass greens in Hawthorn (either Swinburne Avenue or Glen Street).
We are looking forward to defending our title at the Annual APS Tournament, which will be held at the Glen Waverley Bowls Club in late March next year. In 2026 Caulfield will be the host school, responsible for organising the event in conjunction with representatives from the Glen Waverley Bowls Club.
We are always looking for new bowlers. Team members are not restricted to past students of the School. They can also include: 1) the parents or grandparents of past or present students; and 2) past or present staff members. Old Shelfordians, or past Shelford parents, grandparents or staff members, are most welcome to join us. Players of any standard can take part in our social games.
Please contact Ian Wilkinson at the CGA (ianwilkinson@caulfieldgs.vic.edu.au) if you are interested in participating in any of our social games this season or would like to be considered for selection in the CGA team that will take part in the 2026 APS Tournament. Alternatively, telephone the CGA Office on 9524 6229 to register your interest. If you have a family member who may be interested, please pass this information on to them.
I thank all team members for their support so far this season.
