YIPs is back for 2026!! Join us for YIPs Kick-off Lawn Bowls, where the competition is optional, the chats are not, and someone will insist they’re “terrible at bowls” right before lining up a suspiciously good shot.
You can play every game, skip half of them, or spend most of the night off the green catching up – it all works.
👟Flat‑soled shoes are recommended, but past events suggest many people will abandon footwear altogether once the vibes are right. Consider this less of a “dress code” and more “enter at your own risk”.
Unlimited Mexican Food will be served strictly between 6:30pm and 8:30pm – every year someone misses it and regrets their decisions. Don’t be that person. Drinks will also be available throughout the night🍻
