This is part of the Scone Neighbourhood Centre project, which aims to promote health and wellbeing to the men of the Upper Hunter.
The day was to encourage men, families and friends to become involved in a fun, healthy outdoor activity in a social setting.
Aberdeen Neighbourhood Centre manager Lee Watts said it was pleasing to offer the chance to increase awareness among men in the Upper Hunter region.
“There is a wealth of research that shows us that there are significant health benefits for people who participate in physical activity, especially in a social setting,” she said.
“We were pleased to be able to provide an opportunity for people to come along and enjoy a day out.”
The bowls day is one of many activities the Neighbourhood Centre organises as part of its Virtual Shed project.
The project is funded through the Federal Department of Social Services under the Community Investment Program.
