Please refer to “Are there menus for functions”
You don’t need to be a member to hold a function at the club. But you need to be a member to purchase alcohol.
The cost to hold a function is only instigated after 20 people as we need to hire additional staff to make sure that your guests have a great night. For numbers under this we simply ask for a deposit to secure the booking and the deposit is taken from the total price.
Homestead Cafe (within Cherratta Lodge) have come up with a taste tempting range of menus from cold, hot dishes like Roasts, Indian, Italian, Asicn, etc., Canapes, or snacks and meals for a full day out.
In addition to this we can also provide simple snacks like dips, cheese and biscuits, nuts etc if you want to nibble and play but obviously no food or drinks on the bowling green.
We can also accommodate for simple foods like sausage sizzle or burgers where we cook the burgers and lay out the salads etc so that you can create your own mouth watering delight.
One other option is BBQ with scotch fillet steak, sausages and a choice of 3 salads. Also an option to add in marinate chicken pieces. All served with bread/rolls.
Menus can be adapted to your special event. We are here to please. Phone Roz on 0417979587 for more information and sample menus.
Usually with functions guests will:
- Arrive and have pre-game drinks
- Get FREE instruction on playing lawn bowls
- Play bowls with added instruction if required while listening to great music
- Enjoy a meal and dessert if required
- Awards for silly things done on the green prehaps or awards for work recognition – keep it fun!

- We have a great list of hints and tips for a successful function so please ask when phoning and we’ll send you the suggestions.
- At all of our functions, you will be guarenteed of quality food and quality service. NO PAPER PLATES or DISPOSABLE CUTLERY. We want your guests to feel like they have been pampered with excellent food and service.
We certainly can to theme nights. Just ask. Homestead Cafe (in Cherratta Lodge) often do theme night in their cafe (you must give them a try). They are currently working on theme night menus for us. Let us know your theme and the team at Homestead Cafe will come up with a menu to suit.
While we don’t currently have live music, we have tablets upstairs and downstairs with internet access so you can stream the music you would like for your function or alternatively, bluetooth your own music to our speakers.
If live music is required, rest assured we will investigate for you, but the internet has a large range available. FREE for you to use.
We have access to a large range of cakes – frozen and really tasty and decorations can be added. ie writing or additional decorations. Please phone Roz on 0417979587 for more information or pricing.
As with all licensed premises, people need to be members to purchase alcohol and every club is the same. Non-members can be on the premises and dine or have soft drinks – no problem.
If you have a function, only the person paying for the function needs to be a member.
If guests are non-members, they can’t purchase alcohol – they need to be members. See membership details page. We would recommend that you sign up for membership online, pay online through your bank so that you are on the membership register and accepted before coming down to the club, to save any embarrassment.
Our most popular is Pepperjack Shiraz and Oyster Bay Sav Blanc and Chardonnay. While we have a small range of large bottles, we have the full range of Angove piccolo bottles – Chardonnay, Muscato, Sav Blanc, Shiraz, Merlot and Cab Sav. That way we can guarantee the wine is fresh out of a newly opened bottle and the wine is receiving good reviews.
In addition to the piccolos we also have the small Champagnes and sparkling Muscatos.
Recently added Barking Owl Shiraz and soon to arrive, Voyager Estate Semillon Blanc Sauvignon and Cabernet/Merlot.
We are sure you will find one that will suit your pallet.
Sure do, just email us at dampierbowlingclub@gmail.com and we’ll send you a list. New, to arrive soon, Margaret River Voyager wines! Recently added Budweiser beer, Cloudy Apple Cider, Captain Morgans and Cola, Vodka Lime and soda, Tequila 100% (Tequila with lime and Agave – ever so refreshing). We are open to suggestions if we don’t have what you drink.
When have some very tempting menus and we have asked Homestead Catering to separate the desserts. They certainly look scrumptious and take delicious, but we can provide separate pricing for the meal and dessert for those who want to keep the costs down.
BUT… you may think people aren’t bothered about desserts, but take my word, that is one meal where they will come back for seconds. Desserts only add about $6 onto the meal price, depending on your selections and there is a heap to choose from.

Yes we now have tea and coffee on offer every night we are open – Trialling Nespresso coffee and if popular, we will look at a commercial machine, but still with Nespresso pods, to guarantee a fresh brew of coffee. You need to try our liquor coffees by adding one of these: Baileys, Kahlua, Jameson Whiskey, Galliano, Tia Maria, Cointreu or have them on the side. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Only $5 per adult. Children up to 17 free if playing with a parent. This goes towards maintenance of our REAL LAWN bowling green and use of the lawn bowls.

We are really keen to get more competitive bowlers. We play games against Karratha, South and Port Hedland, as well as inter-club championships.
So, if you don’t currently play a sport and would like to try something a bit different, let us know and we’ll introduce you to LAWN BOWLS. You can have as many free lessons as you need. Eventually you will develop your own style.
It’s a great game to be played as a single person or as a team.
You will be playing with a team of bowlers who all have the club at heart and are 100% in there to keep the club alive. We can’t do this without bowling members. We are primarily a bowling club and would love to see the club return to the bowling hub it used to be. We have the history there – inside the club and want to make our foundation members proud of the club as it is today!
Barefoot bowls is a name – playing bowls in REAL LAWN and the feeling of the grass under your feet is nice.
The best footwear for the REAL LAWN is bare feet or thongs. Barefoot bowls can be played any night Tuesday to Sunday but we are trying to get people down Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The more people the better the atmosphere.
Even though we have Scroungers on Wednesdays, you can come down and play Barefoot bowls with friends and NOT join in the competition.
Want to play during the day? On weekends, just email us or phone Roz on 0417979587. Let us know how many people and we’ll open the bar – minimum 10 people. Same during the week, but if the function is for Team Building, let’s talk some more to get those teams building……… we have some great ideas.
Simple – pop into the club and pay your membership which is $100 for the year.
Purchase your uniform and we have them in stock.
Then we put you in touch with our match captain who will assist with games and the programme of events, or you can have a chat to him first if you like.
Send us an email to dampierbowlingclub@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with him.
We would like to see our club growing more rapidly for competition bowlers so would look forward to your membership enquiries.

Sponsorship (3)
It is easy. There are a few classifications:
Gold, Silver, Bronze and website only.
These vary from $50 for the year for website only and upwards depending on your budget. Please send us an email to dampierbowlingclub@gmail.com or discuss with Roz Powell on 0417979587.
We’d love to have you as part of our rapidly growing club and we have some great areas for sponsorship signage. Photos are available on request.
Gold, Silver and Bronze all have signage at the club, just in various locations and sizes. They are also features in all of our marketing material in the order of their status.
Website only is as it says, your logo will be included in the slideshow on the front page and a description on the SPONSOR page. Still good exposure.
Usually 12 months but can be longer or shorter depending on your budget.
Some sponsors pay cash up front and pay for their sign to be printed and then we install it.
Some do one-off or ongoing work at the club in exchange for sponsorship recognition and signage
Some companies only want recognition on our website for a small $50 fee.
Others like our Major sponsor Cherratta, provided meals for our Dampier Bowling Club Carnival and ongoing support throughout the year and will be putting up signage also.
Ones like JWMS and Argonaut pay up front for signage exposure.
so. there are various options available…. please contact Roz Powell on 0417979587 for more info.
