Welcome to Victoria Bowling Club Inc.

The Victoria Bowling Club Inc. was founded in 1907 and is situated at 231 Victoria Street.

Our outstanding facilities include a fully licenced Club consisting a spacious air conditioned function room for up to 270 people and a separate Members area.

The function room is suitable for a variety of occasions including weddings, engagement, anniversaries, and birthdays.

Hosting both grass and synthetic greens allows for lawn bowls action all year round. Decking along our Clubhouse overlooks the Synthetic Green, Spectators / bowlers utilising this area are protected from the sun by sunblinds. It really is the perfect location for Barefoot Bowls for your work breakup, or team-building event.

Victoria Bowling Club Inc. is quickly gaining a reputation as a family lawn bowls club. We have a number of members with young children, who are welcomed into the club environment and encouraged and supported if they wish to take on the sport.

The Bowling Club can cater up to 120 players at one time in either pennant competitions or when hosting other major tournaments, such as the prestigious Gold Nugget Fours.

Generous off street area allows for a safe and secure parking.

Life Member status for Victoria Bowling Club legends

At our recent AGM, it was unanimously decided by the members of Victoria Bowling Club that Barry Clark and Noel Verlinden had earned the status of Life Membership at the Big V.

Bob Whitcher had the honour of presenting Barry and Noel with their certificates and outlined the many highlights of their time with the club, both on and off the greens. It was terrific to have their families in attendance to share in the celebration.

Congratulations Barry and Noel on your well deserved recognition.
