What could be better? A summer day. Good friends. Friendly competition.
And the most important ingredient, fun!
One of the best things about Lawn Bowling is it doesn't require a lot of
expensive equipment. All you need is a pair of flat soled shoes, and
you're on your way. We will provide everything else you need to get you
started off on the right foot.
Our Lawn Bowling section has many activities scheduled throughout the year.
Wednesday Jitney's are a good way for new bowlers to get started. We will
also be offering lessons for new bowlers throughout the season. Our club
tournaments take place throughout the summer, and information is posted in
the Club House.
The Balmy Beach Lawn Bowling Club officially opened in August of 1905 with
a tournament which began our long and exciting history.
The lands on which the bowling greens, clubhouse and the Main Club sit were
originally owned by Sir Adam Wilson, one of twelve householders at the
Beach. In 1875, he deeded a parcel of land at the bottom of Beech Avenue
for the enjoyment of the local residents. In 1903, a Parliamentary Act
declared this land the Balmy Beach Park, which was and still is
administered by the Balmy Beach Park Commission.
Throughout the past 100 years, many outstanding bowlers have put the Balmy
Beach Lawn Bowling Club on the map both Nationally and Internationally.
Why not come out and give it a try? Once you do, you'll find out what
thousands already know.
THIS IS SOME SERIOUS FUN!
New members can meet at the Green – Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m.
You must be a member of the Balmy Beach Club to Lawn Bowl.
