Our History

The club "evolved" circa 1983,  founded by a bunch of "ageing" rugby players looking for summer recreation. Recruitment of some bowlers like David George, Iain Russell, Don Wibley and other interested parties living in the village resulted in the carving out of the green from the rock of the Garth Mountain, and by 1991 the club was ready for competition.  In 1991 Dr Kim Howells MP, officially opened the green and a new era in the life of the village began.

September 2016 - After three years' extremely hard work applying for grants combined with members' generosity in pledging personal money, the club raised sufficient funds to construct, for the first time in its history, a purpose-built clubhouse. Over 50% 0f the funding was provided by the Welsh Government through its Aggregate Levy Fund. 

Some uncomplimentary comments were made about the standard of the green in its early years, however, from 2023 with the help of Absolute Grasscare and an army of club volunteers the green is now in great shape. Volunteers also look after the surrounding gardens.
