THE HISTORY OF THE CLUB

The club was founded on the 11th June 1906 when a group of prominent business men in the town met in a room at the'Fountain' Week Street.Mr Edmund Vaughan the Mayor of Maidstone at the time and an active member in the formation of the club,became its  first President.In the preceding years the club became one of the most respected in the County,a position which has been maintained as we look to celebrate 100 years in 2006.The club owns its existing site in Buckland Road and being a private members club relies on voluntary support to achieve its smooth running and to ensure the club house and green are of a standard expected.The management of the club underwent a change in 1999 when the members elected to become a mixed club and with it came the establishment of a joint management committee supported by men's and ladies playing committees.The club is also honoured to be the official headquarters of the Kent County Bowling Association.                                                                                          The club aims to promote the sport of bowls at all levels and to this end it is affiliated to all national and governing bodies that in turn provide valuable information and the organisation of national and county competitions.The club organises its own internal competitions and participates in all local leagues which are available for all members to participate in together with entry into county competitions.If none of these interest you there is a full fixture list offering matches against other clubs both at weekends and weekdays.The 'Monday Club' meets every week for a friendly 'roll up' and the green remains available for use outside of any organised events for which there is no additional payment once the annual subscription has been settled.This is currently £57.50 with a match day fee of £2.50 to cover the cost of providing a tea. The club has an active social committee who provide a programme of events throughout the year for members and their guest's enjoyment and for generating valuable funds in support of the club.
