Bowls Victoria, in partnership with VicHealth and thanks to funding from Active Women and Girls for Health and Wellbeing program, have recently launched an exciting new project – Mums on the Green.
The first program under this umbrella is ‘Bowling with Babies’. Bowling with Babies is a participation program designed for and exclusive to new and expecting mums of all skill levels. Bowling with Babies provides a safe, comfortable environment for new mums to get out of the house, meet other mums, enjoy a gentle game of bowls and coffee. The family-friendly environment of bowls clubs is a perfect location for a non-competitive physical activity specifically designed to fit the needs of new mums.
Bannockburn Bowling Club, in conjunction with Golden Plains Shire Council’s Maternal Child & Health team and Leisure Networks, will be hosting 'Mums on the Green' each Tuesday morning, from 10.30am-12.30pm starting Tuesday 5 June, and continuing through until Tuesday 3 July.
Babies can spend time in prams, on blankets or crawling on the green. Older babies are welcome too, and children are the responsibility of parents.
