Marion Bowls Club

Great news for our members — Brad Porter has been officially appointed as our Greenkeeper at the Marion Bowling Club for the next two years.

Brad stepped in at short notice last October and, together with Tim Dodds, delivered outstanding greens for the 2025/26 season. His expertise, care, and commitment have already made a huge impact.

We’re excited for what the next two years will bring and proud to have Brad as part of the Marion team.
