Glenrowan Indoor Bowls WELCOMES any interested bowlers or would-be bowlers to join them
each Wednesday at 1 pm for friendly games
at the Glenrowan Memorial Hall,
which is located at the Recreational Reserve
(the football oval).

After three rounds of friendly and fun games,
all players enjoy a nice Afternoon Tea!

Come along on a visit, occasionally - or every Wednesday!

The Memorial Hall is well heated in Winter
