Lawn Bowls has a long history and the first club is said to have been established at the turn
of the 13th century.
Many of us are familiar with the claim that in 1588 Sir Francis Drake ignored the approach of the Spanish
Armada in order to finish his game of bowls.
The sport is now played around the world and has been a part of the Commonwealth Games from the very first in 1930.
In 1927 the Miners Welfare Fund was responsible for levelling a Pit Mound at the junction of Hartshill and Hadley Roads
on which a public recreation ground was opened.
This then formed the base for what is today known as Hartshill park,and is the home of :-
The Telford & Wrekin District Bowling Club which was established in 1982.
We are registered and Affiliated with the W.B.A & E.B.A.
Our current Club President is:-Mr. George Lobb
