Cop top-shelf feeds at this bowls club tonight

Plus a heap of fun things happening around town this weekend.

October 15, 2025

Are frozen yoghurt joints our new “third space”, or just a flash in the pan? The lines outside ‘em at any and all hours of the day would suggest the former, but — and I’m showing my age here — may I humbly put forward your local bowlo as ripping spot to catch up with friends, fam, and the local community?

The booze is a bit cheaper; they’re usually fenced off so kids can romp around while making new friends (they’ll learn what “STAY OFF THE GRASS” means real quick); bowls is actually pretty fun once you get the hang of it; there’s always sport on the tele; and if you’re lucky, they do some ripper food too…
