About Stoke Bowling Club

exterior.jpg: In August 1948 a suitable piece of land for a bowling club was located for $540 in Ranui Rd. it was purchased through debentures and guarantors, and remarkable progress was made during the next 12 months.

The Stoke bowling club green was opened on Nov.1949.
By 1952 a new pavilion was completed, and by 1958 this was used also by and indoor bowls section. Increasing numbers necessitated an 18 metre extension be added in 1961.

Further land was bought and in 1969 an additional four rink cotula green was laid, to cater for the growing membership.
By 1970, after problems maintaining a grass green to a suitable standard , the main green was converted to cotula too, and was an outstanding success.

Don Carter became the greenkeeper in 1975, and still is today, and maintains the greens to the highest standard.
1980 saw the demolition of the existing clubhouse and a modern attractive one built, with much fund raising by the members , to also buy new furniture. And 1986 saw further development when more land was bought and the 4 rink green rebuilt into a full size green and ample parking.
The greens were named (Bob) Wadsworth and (Don) Carter in recognition of the contribution by these 2 men to the club's growth.

In June 1996 at a special meeting, after nearly 50 years as separate clubs, the Stoke Men's Bowling Club and The Women's Bowling club amalgamated, and became equal partners in the Stoke Bowling club.


Included within a modern clubhouse are kitchen facilities, bar, television and recreational and meeting rooms. Off street parking is also available.
