The Narre Warren Bowls Club is gearing up for its much-anticipated reopening under a new roof.

Construction is now complete on the club’s new roof and multipurpose space, which have been several years in the making.

In 2018, the bowls club said the new roof would enable them to play bowls in a wider variety of weather settings, as well as expand the use of the greens to include undercover large scale outdoor community events.

The project received Federal Government funding.

The official opening is expected to take place in August and will be attended by dignitaries including La Trobe MP Jason Wood, the head of Bowls Australia and Victoria, and administrators from Casey Council.

Local choir Voices of Casey will perform ahead of speeches by the dignitaries.

The public is welcome on the day for a full schedule of family fun, including barefoot bowls, a sausage sizzle and coffee van.

Families will also have the opportunity to find out more about joining the club or holding their next function there.

The date of the event will be confirmed soon.

Narre Warren Bowls Club is located at 1 Magid Drive, Narre Warren.
