Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc
Welcome to the Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc website.
Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc play monthly tournaments at clubs from the Brisbane River north to Bribie Island and Glasshouse. However, we also play at other Clubs such as Gatton and some Brisbane Southside Clubs on request.
We welcome new members to Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc and you do not have to be playing your bowls on the Northside of Brisbane. We currently have members from such Clubs outside of the Northside as Gatton, Laidley, Wynnum and Manly.
Membership is only $20 per annum and this allows us to cover administration fees etc. Members are also eligible to play in our Club Championship Singles and Pairs and our Annual Medals for Players of the Year. Players are eligible to win one of three random draw Fuel Cards at our Monthly events … so what are you waiting for? Get on board and have a great day out with Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc in 2020.
We have also had players play with us from Victoria, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Non members are welcome to attend our Tournaments, but preference will be given to those who are members of our Association if we are short of rinks.

Pine Rivers Seafood Day
Thursday 22nd October 2021 saw Tony Watson and David Pearson travel to Helensvale to compete in their Versatility Pairs competition.
Unfortunately, we had an early morning storm and the first game of 3 bowl pairs was cancelled, due to a little bit of water on the green … I don’t know about these fair weather bowlers:)
When we finally got started David and Tony won both of their games.
It was a great day at Helensvale as usual. Well done Aron … we hope to see you guys again next month!!
Arm Bowls Coaching Info
On Friday 15th October 2021 I attended a coaching and Come N Try Day at Northern Suburbs and the attached flyer was handed out with some Helpful Hints When Using the Bowling Arm.
This may be useful to you.
NSBC Come N Try Coaching Day
Pictured Above: Di McDonald (NSBC Coach), Jill (President – NSBC Ladies), Tony Watson (President BNABAi), Shannon Volp (Bernborough Ascot) and Dennis O’Toole (Bowls Qld Coach).
Northern Suburbs Bowls Club, in conjunction with Bowls Queensland and Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc held their Come N Try Coaching Morning for Bowling Arms.
It was nice to see some of our BNABAi Members in attendance. Warren Blackbourne and Noelene Annakin (Glasshouse) made the trip down from Glasshouse. Ken Nelson (NSBC) and myself were also in attendance.
Dennis O’Toole (Bowls Queensland Coach) led the morning with some great tips for the Arm Bowlers in attendance.
Tony Watson (BNABAi President) was there to give advice about BNABAi to anyone that was wanting it and to assist with new players wanting a bit of instruction with the Arm.
Di McDonald organised the day well and we thank Di for her effort in this.
Morning Tea was sponsored by Bernborough Ascot and Shannon Volp was there to give out information to the Group.
Overall, I thought it was a great day and we look forward to more of these in the 2022.

Narangba is Next
The next event for the Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc is to be held at Narangba Bowls Club on Sunday 14th November 2021 and this will be our last one for 2021.
You do not have to be a member of a Brisbane Northside Club to play in our tournaments. You are also not required to be a member of a bowls club at all in order to play with BNABAi. So we are open to all Arm Bowlers to join us, however, our members will always have first preference.

We look forward to seeing many of you at this event.
New Committee for 2022
Pine Rivers Results
Pine Rivers Bowls Club was the venue for Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc on Sunday 10th October 2021 and it was nice to play on carpet again. The green ran on well and the competition was strong.

The winners of our 3 Bowls Pairs with a 2 + 18 were Alf Hunter (Pine Rivers) and Mal Crossingham (Pine Rivers). Runners Up were Ken Nelson (NSBC) and Marko Kendes (Toombul) on 2 + 13. We had 1 drawn game again, showing how tight the competition is becoming.
Overall winners for the day were Alf Hunter (Pine Rivers) and Mal Crossingham (Pine Rivers) with a 4 + 23. Runners Up were Ken Nelson (Northern Suburbs) and Marko Kendes (Toombul) with a 4 + 21.
We also had a triples match this month and the winners of the Triples were Allan Selkow (Belmont), Joe Walters (Maleny) and Doug Bristow (Pine Rivers) with a 4 + 25.

Coorparoo Pairs
On Friday 1st October 2021 David Pearson (Carina) and Tony Watson (Bramble Bay) travelled to Coorparoo to play in the Corrparoo Open 3 Bowls Pairs.
It was nice to catch up with Allan Selkow (Belmont) who was also dressed in his Club shirt.
Dave and Tony won Runner Up for the day after a big win in the first game. Allan picked up the Mystery Prize. So the BNABAi players for the day had a very successful one.
It was a great day and great food. Thanks Coorparoo.
