Henselite Victorian Open 2022
ENTRIES NOW OPEN!
Bowls Victoria, together with Greater Shepparton City Council, are incredibly excited to officially open entries for the long-awaited 2022 Henselite Victorian Open.
Andrew Haug, General Manager Commercial Operations at Bowls Victoria said, “after two COVID-impacted years we are excited to be back in Shepparton for the tenth edition of the Victorian Open. Not having run the event since 2019, we are excited about the level of interest the event is already generating, together with the large number of bowlers again expected to attend the event.”
The Vic Open offers a wonderful opportunity for bowlers right across the country to get away and experience some solid competition, while immersing themselves in all the tourism elements that Greater Shepparton City has to offer.
Bowls Victoria has a long-standing partnership with Greater Shepparton City and an incredible 10 years of calling Shepparton home to the Victorian Open. As our last event in Shepparton prior to moving the event to the Latrobe Valley in 2023, bowlers across the country are encouraged to register and make November’s event the biggest and best yet.
with Greater Sheppartong City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Councillor Shane Sali welcomes back Bowls Victoria to Shepparton after the two-year hiatus and stated, “we are proud to be hosting the Victorian Open for Bowls Victoria, once again showcasing the many excellent facilities we have in the region which have hosted state, national and international events. These high-quality sporting facilities are perfectly suited to host events for the 2026 Commonwealth Games.”
“Hosting such a prestigious large-scale event over an eight-day period will be a big boost for our economy, helping support local jobs and growth for our visitor economy injecting in excess of $1million into the community”.
“It will be terrific welcoming the thousands of competitors and visitors to the event and showing them our vibrant city, with our friendly hospitality, booming dining scene and many unique attractions to explore such as the region’s heritage and history museums, local street art, the Shepparton Art Museum and Museum of Vehicle Evolution, especially the Loel Thomson Clothing Collection which resides inside the museum.”
