55th RSL National Bowls Carnival

The 55th RSL National Bowls Carnival was held in South Australia from 29 April to 6 May 2024.

Around 180 bowlers and their supporters arrived at the Marion Bowling Club to play in the high-anticipated annual competition.

It was great to see the National Carnival continue in 2024 and RSL Australia extends gratitude to all those who organise the Carnival for their time and efforts. The 55th RSL National Bowls Carnival was supported by RSL Active and RSL South Australia.

RSL Active supports RSL programs and events created for the veteran community, providing opportunities to connect with other veterans and improve physical and mental well-being. It is always heartening to see the engagement, participation, and take-up from members in sports and recreational activities and the National Carnival is a great example of this.

Participants were encouraged to take the opportunity to visit RSL South Australia sub-branches while they were visiting, connect with old friends, and make new ones.

Congratulations to the winners:

• The Jack Hamilton VC Series was won by New South Wales

• The Dr. Sydney Krantz Memorial was won by Queensland

• Sir Arthur Lee National Fours Competition was won by a Victorian 4 from a WA side

Next year the 56th RSL National Bowls Carnival will be held in Queensland.
