Bowl into 2024 with ASGA Social Events

The Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA) has announced the association will be holding Social Bowls events in each State during 2024.

The events will be informal evenings, says ASGA's Event Manager, Michael Punch, and will provide those who don’t play golf or who can’t commit the amount of time required to attend the association’s popular Golf Days with a chance to connect with industry colleagues.

“The ASGA Board is conscious that not everyone is proficient in golf expertise, nor can everyone afford the time away from their businesses to attend full-day events,” Punch adds.

The first events for 2024 are in Melbourne at the Melbourne Bowling Club in Windsor on Friday, 16 February, immediately following the ASGA Annual General Meeting at 4 pm that evening, with the Brisbane event scheduled for 5 pm on Friday, 23 February at BOO.

“Already, 24 ‘bowlers’ have registered for the Brisbane event, and we expect the Melbourne night, with its iconic venue at the oldest bowling club in Australia and the added attraction of being able to arrive early to hear the latest updates and plans from ASGA, and have your say at the Annual General Meeting, will be an extremely popular event,” says Punch.

  “Over the past decade, ASGA has held very popular industry golf events in four States thanks to strong sponsorship from sign and print companies and great support from the industry. These events are always notable for their camaraderie, but we think a social game at the local bowling club will be the perfect way to provide a more relaxed, end-of-the-day get-together with a fun focus and plenty of opportunities to connect.”

The format was successfully piloted by ASGA’s South Australian Committee in recent years, with the 2023 event sponsored by ORAFOL attracting more than 30 local industry members to enjoy networking in a convivial atmosphere. Future events will follow a similar format, says Punch, with plenty of food platters, drinks and some fun as the art of bowls is unwrapped.
