The District conducts all competitions that progress to Zone and State level together with District Championships, Mixed Events and the very popular and very successful Winter Bowls Carnival, which, in 2023 will be it’s 59th year..
The inaugural meeting of the SCDLBA was held on 11th September 1970 at the Mooloolaba Bowls Club with Joan Perren as President and J. Arnold as Secretary. There were 14 clubs with a total of 493 members.
In 2003/4 Bowls Queensland (formerly Queensland Ladies Bowling Association) changed the boundaries in Queensland and the Sunshine Coast and North Coast Districts were merged to become the current Sunshine Coast Ladies Bowling Association.
The newly formed District Association runs District events and competition for the members of these Clubs and some of these competitors then qualify for events at State level. All of the Clubs have their social bowling every week but also run a few major events each year themselves. Check out the Events Calendar on this website. You can go to the Club Events or District Events pages to see upcoming events or recent events (and the results).
There are always plenty of Games for you to get involved in.
