Yarra Glen Bowls Club is undergoing renovations ahead of the upcoming pennant season thanks to funding from Yarra Ranges Council.
The club has two main renovation projects; improving greens and lights followed by a revamp of the clubrooms.
The club has already opened new greens and lights.
The renovation for the clubrooms started in May and will be in fully operation in mid-October.
Club treasurer Bill Grund said the organisation was grateful for the help from Yarra Ranges Council.
“It’s been a long journey,“ he said.
“We started this project in 2019 by approaching the council with a strategic plan.
“There were two things we needed; the bowling green was on its last leg and the toilets were a disgrace.”
The club is asking locals to join as new members to enjoy bowling with the new facilities.
“We are a service to the community and we want to keep doing it in the best way we can,” Mr Grund said.
The practice matches for the pennant season have already begun every Thursday.
The season will start on 21 October with a pre-season pie night set to be held on 19 October.
Anyone interested is welcome to come down to the club to look around the new facilities.
