The Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA) hosted its inaugural ASGA Victorian Bowls Event last week at the Melbourne Bowling Club in Windsor, with more than 30 industry members in attendance.

The networking event is part of a series of bowls events to be hosted around the country following a successfully pilot by ASGA’s South Australian Committee over the past couple of years.

“This is an idea we have had for some time and have successfully piloted in South Australia, and it’s great to be finally rolling the program out nationally this year,” said Mick Harrold, ASGA president.

“While our golf days are always popular events, we know that not everyone is partial to a round of golf, nor can everyone spare a day away from work to participate. These bowls events are designed to be a more informal way to network with colleagues after work on a Friday night, with a fun round of social bowls thrown in for entertainment.

“It was fantastic to see so many people come along for this first event in Melbourne, and to have them stay on for so long to enjoy the game and the atmosphere,” he said.

The next Social Bowls event for ASGA will be in Brisbane at the BOO at 5pm on Friday 23 February.
