Rosamond Bowling Club

Ms HALL (Footscray) (09:52): I rise on a number of local matters. The Rosamond Bowling Club, which was established in 1955, is a fabulous local club that offers so much more to the community than just bowls. I can remember my grandmother telling me off for running across the green as a little girl, and I am pretty sure I am not the only person in Footscray who has a story like that, because it is a true community club. But community spirit can only go so far. Clubs like Rosamond need financial support to keep their doors open and support the volunteers who keep the club running for all of us to enjoy. Today I am calling on the Andrews Labor government to fund a new synthetic green for Rosamond Bowling Club. The costs of maintaining the grass are becoming unmanageable, and I believe that a new synthetic green would give the club a new lease on life.
