Tradition, Community, And A Warm Welcome At Marian Bowls Club

For over 70 years, Marian Bowls Club has been a pillar of the local community, offering a friendly and welcoming space for players of all ages and abilities. Nestled in the quiet surroundings of Reg Smith Street, Marian, the club provides a peaceful escape where the only sounds are birdsong, the gentle hum of the Marian Sugar Mill and the occasional cheer of happy bowlers enjoying a friendly match.

The club caters to a variety of bowling interests, from social bowls to competitive pennants and inter-club matches across the district. With no poker machines on-site, Marian Bowls Club drives an authentic, family-friendly atmosphere that keeps members coming back year after year.

The Ladies’ Club even leads fundraising initiatives such as the annual Jumble Sale, which is the club’s major fundraiser, and supports important causes including the Trudy Crowley Foundation Charity Day and Share the Dignity Bags. They are currently crafting blankets for local aged care homes in an act of kindness that highlights their dedication to giving back.

The 2025 season kicks off at the end of February, and the club is actively seeking new members and visitors to join their thriving community. Whether you’re a seasoned bowler or new to the sport, Marian Bowls Club welcomes everyone to enjoy the game and the friendships that come with it.

Representatives from Marian Bowls Club will be at the Mackay Sport and Rec Expo on February 9, from 9am to 1pm at the MECC. Stop by to meet the friendly team, pick up a flyer, and learn how you can become part of this vibrant club!
