New Years 2020
Carrington Bowling Club CEO Jaci Lappin said she was looking forward to spending the evening with the members who had supported the club during lockdown.
"They didn't forget us through COVID. A lot of them signed back up for five-year memberships," she said.
Ms Lappin, who works long hours at the club despite a terminal cancer diagnosis in 2019, said the Sydney outbreak was "terrifying".
"We're not letting anyone in from greater Sydney, Central Coast or Wollongong.
"We just don't want it to come up here, do we?
"I don't think next year will be much different to this one.
"I didn't think it was going away, watching what's been happening in Europe and America, though I think we've been a lot more responsible in Australia."
