Novice Event
The Novice event is scheduled for Friday, 9th May to Monday, 12th May 2025 at Mulgrave Country Club.
Novice bowlers from across the state will gather in the Eastern Ranges playing area to compete in the new format Novice State Carnival.
The Mulgrave Country Club will be the Carnival’s ‘Hub Venue’, hosting all the finals.
Supporting host clubs include Glen Waverley, Burden Park, Narre Warren, Berwick and Dandenong Club.
The 2024 event is open to any bowler who became affiliated with a bowling club (nation-wide) after May 1st, 2021 (inclusive).
