Lockleys Bowling Club was founded in 1913. The greens were then at Cross Street, but to meet increased membership the move to the current location (46 Rutland Avenue, Lockleys, South Australia 5034) was completed in 1964. In 2006 the Constitution was changed so that men's and women's sections were integrated for the purposes of managing the club, although men’s and women's pennant competitions and tournaments remain separate except for the mixed pairs. The wonderful layout of the clubhouse and the four greens influenced the club being chosen as the venue for two Jack High singles championships in the 1980s, with winners being well known NSW bowlers Ken Williams and Ian Schubach. This led ten years later to selection as the venue for the World Bowls Championship of 1996. The club has been further recognised by being invited to be the main venue for the World Bowls Championships in 2012. The four greens and the banks were refurbished in 2005-06 and are second to none in Adelaide. Again in 2007-2008 twon greens have been refurbished, and one more will be done this season, with the fourth to be done later in 2008. We welcome new members, and provide free coaching through our qualified coaches. |
