KORONG Vale Bowling Club has officially disbanded with members beginning to distribute donations to local organisations.
Long-time member John Gibson said donations of $2000 had already been made to Boort, Wedderburn and Charlton clubs where Korong Vale members had joined after going into pennant recess last year.
He said donations would also be made to health services in Inglewood, Boort and Charlton but the club’s memorabilia would remain in the Loddon Shire-owned clubrooms that are also used by the town’s tennis club.
Demise of the bowling club leaves tennis the only sporting group still operating in the town with the golf club remaining in recess.
Korong Vale had played in the North Central pennant bowls competition.
That competition is due to start its new season on October 14 although the opening clash between Boort and Wedderburn will be rescheduled to avoid the Boort Show on that day.
The midweek pennant will start on October 10.
