  • B&W photo of two people standing on a bowling green. They are wearing white uniforms, consisting of a white collared dress, a sunhat, and white shoes for the woman, and a white polo shirt, white trousers, a white cap, and white shoes for the man. There are several bowls (a ball for bowling) on the ground in front of them. Around the perimeter, there are three wooden benches on a low raised platform. Two shelters (partially obscured) are evident on the edges of the frame. There is a small scoreboard with a metal frame containing numbered cards that can be hung from the frame. There is a sign at the base of the frame, but the text and logos are illegible. In the background, there is a metal wire cyclone fence, with a few shrubs and small flowering plants in front of it and several large trees and shrubs behind it.

    Lawn Bowls (unidentified club)

Historical information

The Arthritis Foundation of Victoria (AFV), (formerly the Rheumatism and Arthritis Association of Victoria (RAAV)), has promoted the game of lawn bowls as an excellent form of exercise for people with arthritis. Consequently, the RAAV/AFV has enjoyed a long association with various lawn bowls organisations. This photo depicts two members of an unidentified lawn bowls club posing for a photo on the green, with several bowls on the ground in front of them.
