The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is bringing the community together this Men’s Health Week for an evening focused on connection, wellbeing and support for men across Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Held as part of Men’s Health Week, the Bowls, Banter & Better Health event will bring a relaxed setting for lawn bowls, a catered dinner, complimentary health checks, barber services and the opportunity to connect with local service providers.
Open to men aged 18 and over, the event aims to encourage more open conversations about physical and mental health while making it easier for men to access information and connect with local support services.
Mayor Glenn Wilson said Men’s Health Week was an important reminder for men to prioritise their wellbeing.
"One thing I've learnt through talking with people across our community is that everybody carries something, even if you can't see it," Mayor Wilson said.
"As men, we're often good at talking about work, sport and what's happening around our city, but we're not always great at talking about how we're really going.
"This event isn't about putting anyone on the spot. It's about creating a space where men can come together, have a laugh, meet some good people, and maybe have a conversation they otherwise wouldn't have."
Mayor Wilson said looking after your health didn't always have to start with a doctor's appointment.
"Sometimes it starts with something as simple as catching up with mates, getting out of the house or having a chat over a meal," he said.
"We know life can be busy and demanding, particularly in regional communities where work, family commitments and shift work can take up a lot of our time. That's why it's important to make time to check in on yourself and the people around you.
"If you've been meaning to catch up with friends, learn a bit more about your health, or simply get out for the evening, we'd love to see you there."
The Men's Lawn Bowls Sundowner will be held on Thursday, 18 June 2026, from 4pm to 7pm at the Kalgoorlie Bowling Club.
The event is proudly supported by Climatize Kalgoorlie and is free to attend, with registration encouraged.
