Glen Eden Bowling Club’s Centenary is coming up in 2022.

The Glen Eden Bowling Club is planning a host of activities to celebrate this milestone. The club
welcomes past members and the local community to take part in the celebrations and share their
memories of lawn bowls in Glen Eden.

Glen Eden Bowling Club was established in 1922 with a committee comprising Messers Croucher, Finch,
Kirkpatrick, Porteous, and Waldron. The land for the club grounds was gifted by the George
