Message from the President

Dean Merlo

Welcome to New Farm Bowls Club, home of the mighty New Farm Lightning!

We are a proud Division 1 Pennant winning side. While we enjoy bowling at the highest level, we have 4 divisions here bowling all year. We cater to all levels from National reps to absolute beginners. We can organise coaching and welcome barefoot bowls enthusiasts.

Our Club chef Craig Wright of Shortgrass restaurant will pleasantly surprise you with his culinary skills and specialises in party and corporate events. We can cater from 2-250. Call Rick our experienced Manager for a chat about your next function or pop in for an ice cold craft beer. Centrally located, opposite New Farm Park on a Brunswick Street, we look forward to seeing you soon.

Catch you on the Greens.
