Through an action by the “Rotary club” in Bar, a long-time neglected terrain for “bocanje” (similar to bowling) owned by the Pensioners’ Association Bar has been renovated.
After the successful completion of all the works and the purchase of “bocce”, the “Rotary Club” Bar handed the field to the use of the Pensioners’ Association on behalf of which its president, Iso Matezic, thanked everyone involved for this beautiful gesture, pointing out that this is "of great importance for the recreation of pensioners and other interested citizens of Bar".
On the same occasion, pensioners and Rotarians agreed that with the help of the citizens of Budva and Tivat who practice “bocanje”, they would organize a "School of bocanje" that will contribute to the popularize this beautiful sport.
The “Rotary club” Bar has announced that they have noticed that the terrain for “bocanje” owned by the Pensioners’ Association Bar is collapsing and that as such it “makes the city unappealing," therefore with the approval of the Pensioners' Association's management they decided to renovate it and restore its functionality.
"With the help of the Utility Company DOO, the terrain and its surroundings were cleaned of garbage and rubbish, internal grouting was carried out with thick boards that were later coated with rubber, and the terrain was filled with a larger amount of sand of the appropriate granulation, after which a manual roller flattened the terrain. The fence was painted, and the hedge along the terrain trimmed, and after the procurement of appropriate bocce, the terrain was ready to give to the retirees. “Rotary Club” Bar will, within its capabilities, realize similar projects in the future, and will work to contribute to the community continuously," it the club said.
