Member for Blue Mountains, Trish Doyle was thrilled to visit Club Lawson last week, to see the finished works funded by a NSW Government Community Building Partnership (CBP) grant. The Club has used the funds to instal a children’s play area, as well as beautifying the gardens surrounding the premises.
“Lawson Bowlo is such a hub for the mid-mountains. It was a real joy to be invited along to see what a great job they’ve done with their CBP funds, giving the Club a bit of a face-lift and in doing so, widening their appeal in the community,” Ms Doyle said. “I feel really lucky to have the Club as my local!”
The Club really does have something to appeal to everyone, from barefoot bowls to live entertainment, trivia to musical bingo and raffles. It’s also a great place to grab a bite to eat!
Ms Doyle said ”It’s been such a tough few years for businesses and clubs and when I visited Club Lawson recently, it really felt that the upgrade will encourage more of the community to support it, now there’s even more to offer for all ages.”
“And It’s great to see the Club is ready for its 100th birthday celebrations on 18th May“ said Ms Doyle. "What an amazing milestone!”
Club Lawson spokesperson, Helen King said, ”The grant for the play equipment has allowed us to cater for our families and is used frequently. Our outside area is a wonderful place for families to come and relax, have something to eat and even listen to live music on selected Sunday afternoons.”
“Liaising with Trish and gaining the grant has given us an opportunity to cater for our younger community members. We are planning a week-long celebration of 100 years starting with a Community Day on the 12th May. This will be a party for all our community members with a jumping castle, face painting, petting zoo, sausage sizzle and so much more. Of course barefoot bowls and a special gift for Mums and it is all free. Come along and celebrate our 100 years Birthday.”
