Bowling at Marden
Our outdoor summer season runs from late April until mid-September, with regular casual bowling sessions, friendly matches against local clubs, and various league matches. In winter, our clubhouse becomes a two-rink short mat bowling facility, and we hold various social events throughout the year.
