Nhill Bowling Club marked 100 years with a celebratory major tournament during the Labour Day long weekend.
Members of Wimmera and Mallee clubs joined Victorian and South Australian players to contest open triples on Saturday.
On Sunday there was 2-4-2, any combination pairs, and Monday, the biggest day of the weekend, was open fours.
The club formed in 1923 and the greens officially opened in 1925.

Former world number-one Steve Glasson, who previously coached the national side and is now Australia’s chairman of selectors, attended the celebrations on Monday.
“For the local club, 100 years is a great achievement by those who are running the ship now and the tireless efforts of past volunteers,” he said.
“A lot of work goes into a club and a milestone celebration, so it’s good to see so many bowls clubs represented.
“It goes to show how Nhill must have a great relationship with the whole bowls community – it’s a credit to have Victorian and South Australian clubs here.”
