How the club began..
The prominent citizens who were the early controllers of Marrickville Bowling and Recreation Club Limited were men of vision, energy and determination of purpose. Cogent evidence of this is the fact that, although the club was established on 1 April 1905, the clubhouse was officially opened a few months later on August 29, 1905.
