The Mitre Bowls Club, a cherished institution in our community, has been running since 1901. It is not just a sports club; it is a vital social hub for many. With its rich history and deep roots within the neighborhood, the club has provided a welcoming environment for generations of players and social enthusiasts alike.

The club's clubhouse serves as a gathering place where friendships are forged and community ties are strengthened. For decades, it has been the heartbeat of local social life, a place where people from all walks of life come together to enjoy not only the sport of bowls but also a sense of community and belonging.

Recently, the Mitre Bowls Club has come under threat of closure, putting its legacy and the social well-being of its members in jeopardy. The closure would strip away a key part of our community's heritage and a much-needed social outlet that greatly benefits its members, particularly the elderly who rely on it as a source of companionship and activity.

We believe that the Mitre Bowls Club deserves to be preserved and protected from closure. In order to save this cornerstone of our community, we urge the local council and relevant authorities to consider the cultural and historical significance of the club, and explore alternative solutions to keep it running, such as securing funding or modernizing facilities to attract more members and events.

We ask the community to stand with us and show their support for the Mitre Bowls Club. By signing this petition, you can help us demonstrate the overwhelming community value this club provides. Let us work together to ensure that the Mitre Bowls Club continues to thrive for many generations to come.
