VALE: John (skewsy) Skewis

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our much-loved Lawn Bowls member, John “Skewsy” Skewis, on Friday 22nd May 2026.

Skewsy was a valued and cherished member of our club, whose friendship, warmth, humour, and love of lawn bowls touched so many of us. He was more than just a teammate — he was a friend, a familiar face, and an important part of our club family.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with John's wife Flora, family and loved ones during this very difficult time.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and fondly remembered both on and off the green.

Rest peacefully, Skewsy. 💙

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Any parents out there looking for a Sport for there Under 18's. Come along on Monday 13th April and check it out. Coatesville will happily accept them into our club

The Sandbelt Board, along with the Junior Development Committee, are excited to announce the relaunch of the 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱 🙌🏻🐬

Formerly the Bayside Dolphins, it's been a number of years since our region has had an active junior squad, but not any more - we now have a passtionate committee, determined to grow, nurture and develop junior bowlers and participation in the Sandbelt region.

We're kicking off the relaunch next month, at Chadstone Bowls Club, with a combined information and training session. So we're calling all parents and juniors in the region to get involved and come along. Players and parents attending will have the opportunity to be involved with the planning of future sessions, locations and schedule/session times, so we encourage all interested families to come along. All ages and abilities welcome, up to 18 years (older siblings also welcome to participate in sesssions).

The Sandbelt Dolphins is a junior pathway program, providing members the opportunity to represent Sandbelt at U18 State events and be considered for Victorian U18 State Team trials.

We ask that you register via email to assist with planning:
