Speeches were made as people mingled and socialised in the clubhouse during the afternoon, and sponsors were presented with certificates of appreciation before dinner was followed by the new lights being switched on.

During the afternoon and evening, a number of attendees also took the chance to play bowls on the greens.

City of Moreton Bay councillor Tony Latter switched on the lights after State Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell, gave one of the speeches.

“I love it when a plan comes together,” Mr Powell said.

The Member for Glass House said the Woodford Bowls Club needed to upgrade its lighting, and secured nearly $61,000 after the State Government released its minor infrastructure grants.

“Robert and the team from Click Village LED Lighting Specialists stepped in and delivered it on time and on budget,” he said.

Cr Latter later said “it was a privilege to officially switch on the new lights”.

“It has been a long time coming and a lot of work from the committee to get to here and now enables Friday night bowls to return,” he said.
