The entrance to Railway Union Bowling Club is on Park Avenue. It's narrow and easy to miss so keep a close eye out for the brown 'Railway Union Sports Club' finger sign which is directly opposite to and points at the entrance.
Car parking at Railway Union is very limited, but a number of good public transport options are available so you can get to the club. See below for further details:
