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. |
