An old poultry farm that at one stage housed over 4,000 chooks, in Cambrai Avenue, was the site of the humble beginnings for Engadine Bowling Club in 1958. The Club started with one green, a very modest clubhouse (nicknamed “The Chook House”) and 77 members.

The Ladies Bowling Club was officially founded and recognised in 1960.

In the early days most of the improvements to the facilities were done by making use of working bees and a second green was laid in 1961.

Lighting to the two greens was installed in 1964-1965 and the “Top of the Shire” night bowls competition was founded and is still going today drawing many visiting bowlers from far and wide.

The changes in the Companies Act in 1985 forced the Club to become a limited company and a board was appointed. One of the Board’s first decisions was a $1 million refurbishment which was completed in 1989.

In 1991 the Club was awarded The R.C.A. “Most Improved Club of the Year’ award and a Secretary Manager was appointed to cope with the demands placed upon the Club by increased membership.

Membership was growing so quickly that in 1995 the Board was forced to invest in another refurbishment including the provision of a third bowling green.

In 2002 neighbouring club Helensburgh was experiencing financial difficulties and after approaching Engadine for help, the Engadine Board decided to take over the ailing Club.

Engadine Bowling and Recreation Club has over 3,500 members and employs over 50 staff. The Mens and Ladies Bowling Clubs are regarded among the strongest in the State. Engadine B C is a major supporter of local charities and sporting clubs. The Club has always placed a strong emphasis on youth development, not only on the bowls front but also providing job opportunities and career paths in the hospitality industry.
