2009 Golden Grain Cotton Festival

Moree Lions Club is pleased to be a part of the inaugural Healing Waters Festival 2009. After some feedback from the public, the club has moved the Festival dates to allow more public participation away from the prime time of the harvest season. Timing our festival to coincide with the Healing Waters Festival allows maximum community participation in the regular festival events.
September 5th - Mens Bowls Night
The Mens Bowls evening has been moved forward to allow the Services Club time to renovate their greens over the spring season. Nominations for the Mens Bowls Night can be made at the services club.
