THE Greenbank Gardens Bowls club has boosted its membership numbers after hosting a popular barefoot bowls event on July 21.
Bowls club president Len Holden said more than 50 members hit the green for the inaugural social barefoot event.
"On an average day we would get between four and eight bowlers but this was the most people we have seen in a very long time," he said.
"Grandkids, children, husbands, wives and visitors had such a good day and everyone was really happy.
"We even had a couple of new members join."
The Greenbank Gardens Bowls Club is now working towards holding a barefoot bowls event every three months.
To express interest in the club call president and games director Michael Jenkins on 3809 3959.
