SA INDUSTRY CONNECTS AT ASGA BOWLS EVENT
The South Australian sign and graphics industry gathered at the Adelaide Bowls Club for the third annual Asga Social Bowls event, with 35 participants from across the sector enjoying a night of friendly competition and networking.
The event, sponsored by Orafol, brought together Asga members, non-members, suppliers, and media representatives for a social evening centred on lawn bowls. Pro bowler Ian Hayes from Spandex provided tips and tricks before attendees formed teams of four to compete in a knockout tournament.
The final match saw "The Lagerfields" – Derek from Signageworld, Iestyn from Spicers, Terry from Kwikstripe Sign Shop, and Jarrod from Spandex – face off against the "Awesome Foursome" team, comprising Dennis, Heather, and Matt from Signarama Norwood, along with Julie from Sign Language SA. In a close contest, the Awesome Foursome emerged victorious, taking home bottles of South Australian Shiraz and Adelaide Bowls Club stubby holders.
Lisa Michalanney, SA chair for Asga, highlighted the strong participation in this year’s event. “It was wonderful to see such a large turnout for what was a really enjoyable evening and a great chance to catch up with industry colleagues and make new connections,” she said. Michalanney noted that this year's attendance was the largest for an SA Asga bowls event and possibly the highest across the States this year.
