READ NOWClub president Geoff Tillemans hopes that the installation will encourage an increase in membership, with the green usable all year round.
“Over the last five or six years two clubs in the area surrounding us have closed,” he said.
“The synthetic green will allow us to compete against other clubs and will hopefully encourage players looking for another club to join us.”
Forrestfield and Districts Bowling Club expect the installation to start in March 2018.
