History

The Blacktown Men’s Bowling Club was founded in 1969 at a meeting attended by 21 enthusiastic members who voted to form an outdoor bowling club with Val Montiglio as the inaugural president.

In its early inception the Bowls club had no greens of their own and therefore were reliant on other local bowling clubs such Blacktown City, Toongabbie, Riverstone and Blacktown Diggers in order to play. That was up until 1976 when the Blacktown Workers Club built its first green.  In 1997 work was completed at the club which resulted in the moving of the two greens to their current location today and the unfortunate removal of the original old Tin Shed. 2014 saw the club grow with the opening of a third bowling green.
