While there are no proper minutes available until recent years,
there is photographic evidence that the Club goes back to at least 1904, when
it was used for both bowling and angling purposes, due to being situated on
the banks of the River Clyde. The ground and greens were leased from a local
businessman by the name of Park. At this time there was no proper Clubhouse,
and it was not until 1960 that the makeshift shelters and huts were replaced
by a proper building with a licensed bar. The Club was then registered with the Scottish and Glasgow
Bowling Associations in 1961, and more recently, became affiliated to the
Lanarkshire Bowling Association as well as the aforementioned. Despite
serious flooding from the River Clyde on numerous occasions, particularly in
December 1994, the Club has survived and won “Glasgow” and “Scottish”
honours, with well over a dozen members having represented the Glasgow County
team in the last 20 years. |
