Our kitchen is now OPEN!

Warringah Bowling Club warmly welcomes its new General Manager, Michelle Howe, who we are expecting will start at the Club on Tuesday, 28 April 2026.

Michelle brings to the Club a wealth of club managerial and operational experience, with deep knowledge of food and beverage operations and a significant background in club functions and events having been at, among others, Roseville Golf Club, Elanora Country Club and the Royal Motor Yacht Club.

“I am thrilled to accept the offer and can’t wait to get onsite and get to work!” Michelle said in response to the Club’s formal offer.

Michelle will be instrumental, with the Board, in resetting the Club on a sustainable pathway for its operating business, honouring the history of the Club’s finest bowls traditions, and embracing the opportunities and potential that now lie in front of us.

We are all very much looking forward to Michelle introducing herself to the members, and to all staff.

While we warmly welcome Michelle,

the Club, sadly, will be saying farewell to Michael Payne, who has performed so admirably in an acting GM role since the Club came out of its period of administration at the end of last year.

The opportunity was presented to Michael, and strongly encouraged, to continue at the Club working with the new General Manager, but Michael has decided that he prefers to move on and is planning to do that at about the same time the new General Manager is scheduled to start.

Naturally, the Board respects Michael’s decision, and we sincerely thank him for all his efforts on behalf of the Club, and wish him only the very best in his future endeavours.

Please join with me and the Board in welcoming Michelle, and thanking Michael for his excellent contributions to this fine Club!
