the Rosanna bowling club story

1960

Established

The Rosanna Bowling Club was formed on 26 May, 1960. It secured a 40 year lease over four blocks of land with a frontage of 200 feet. 100 men and 60 women were signed as foundation members and plans were drawn up for a 12 rink bowling green on which work commenced in August 1961. By March, 1962, the green was deemed ready to be played on, and the official opening of the green was held on 24th March, 1962.

Further plans were then drawn up for a club-house, which were approved by the council, and the building was completed in time for the commencement of the 1962-63 bowling season.

The Club's first Annual General Meeting was held on 30th April, 1963.
