After nearly a fortnight on the job, contractors Evergreen Synthetic Grass, have completed the laying a new Ultra Plus Gold surface, plus new surrounds, for the Kardinya Bowling Club’s A-green. The process of watering, rolling and test will now commence.
The forecast rains on the 24-25 May will help bed it down, then it will require rolling and by mid-late June club members are expected to be able to roll on the new surface for the first time.
