"There's a good social side of it, a very good social side of the club."
Prout's team fell 77-46 to finals-contender City Memorial Gold at City Memorial Bowls Club on Tuesday.
The skipper said the club's summer calendar included the Corporate Cup and summer holiday bowls in January.

"We have a great cake stall in January."

The long-time bowler said the club had managed to get some new members on board this pennant.
"Yes a couple of new members have come in from other clubs and we do have a couple of brand new players, so that's good too," she said.
Prout said it was important to provide support to a team as skipper.
"It's about encouragement, it's no good growling," she said.
"That doesn't get you anywhere with them (her team)."
"Definitely encourage them because we all started at the bottom somewhere."
Prout has lived in Warrnambool for 50 years.
"I grew up around Garvoc area and went to Terang High School," she said.
Prout, who has played for Lawn Tennis since 2012, used to play for St John's Bowling Club until it folded.
