Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc
Welcome to the Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc website.
We are a group of predominantly Arm Bowlers who play regular tournaments across the Northside of Brisbane and some matches at other events.
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.
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.

Change to Event Calendar
The 2020 Calendar of Events is updated, so please go to Events and look up the calendar to see what is coming up.
I have changed the layout of the Calendar to list rather than use a Calendar, however, if you want to see it in Calendar form please click on the List area on the right and change to Month.
If you click on more detail you can access the actual flyer for the event if I have one.
I just think this format is more user friendly.
I hope this is useful.
MABA State Team
MABA released its Expression of Interest for Selection 2020 State Arm Bowls Squad. EOI.
MABA claimed that “All Squad members are required under BCiB Insurance criteria to be members of the Maroon Arm Bowlers Association.”
This is a false and mis-leading claim and we contacted BCiB Insurance in order to confirm this. Kelvin Kerkow advised that we hold the exact same policy that MABA do and that this information was in fact mis-leading. Kelvin Kerkow response.
We again wrote to MABA Committee firstly asking for a retration of this statement and again offering an invitation to sit down and discuss the future of Arm Bowls for 2020. Our Letter.
We have not had a response at this time.
