Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

Two clubs offer social bowls in Geelong City & Inner Suburbs, one each in Belmont and Newtown. Both welcome casual groups and supply bowls, but they differ in how the food and function side works.

Belmont against Newtown for a bowls outing:

Belmont's clubhouse has a commercial kitchen and seats more than 100
