| CLUB HISTORY |
Old Clubhouse |
New Clubhouse |
Eltham Bowling Club was founded in the late
1970's and established in 1981.In the mid-1970's an Eltham Council
Sports and Recreation Advisory Committee found that there was a need
for a bowling club in central Eltham. State government funds for
sporting purposes were scarce at the time although there were ample
funds available for recreation purposes - hence the recreation path
was pursued and the name of Eltham Recreation Bowling Club resulted.
As an elected response of the 2011 Annual General Meeting the name
has been now changed to "Eltham Bowling Club".

The club started with one green with a second green
being added in 1986. The initial 21 years the club operated
from an old farmhouse which was later extended by club
members. However, there was a continuing problem with
accessing this building as it was considerably higher than
the greens with an external staircase of over 40 steps.
The club embarked on a long campaign to have new
clubrooms at the same level as the greens. This campaign was
eventually successful in 2002 and we moved into our current
modern clubrooms in 2004. The club currently has
approximately 150 members with new members joining us
regularly.
We have two current active members who joined the Eltham
Bowling Club in the very early years. Joyce Vine, a life
member, and Jim McKenzie whom both joined in 1983-84.
