ABOUT US

ABOUT THE CLUB

CLUB HISTORY

Formation of a bowling club in Maclean, to cater for the lower river area, began when several business men convened a steering committee meeting on the 28th November 1929. At the time there was only one club on the river, being Grafton City on the riverbank at Kent Street, Grafton. Because of this meeting a decision was made to canvas business men of the town and a club was formed on the 5th December 1929.
