Get to know our rich history
The Williamstown Bowling Club is one of the oldest bowls club in Victoria. The club was founded at the Williamstown Mechanics Institute on the 9th of June 1880.
The club formed a three rink green on land adjoining the Mechanics Institute and erected its first pavilion in 1883.
In 1888 a new green of eight rinks and a two room veranda was opened in our present location in what is now Dennis Reserve.
In 1889 the club adopted its first constitution declaring the club colours royal blue and yellow which still remain as club colours today.
In 1919 electric light was installed and that installation was replaced by the present system on our two seven rink green in 1966.
Over the years the clubhouse had various alterations and extensions and was eventually demolished. The present clubhouse was opened in 1991.
