Oakham Bowling Club published this booklet as part of their programme to celebrate the
centenary of the club’s formation in May 1910.
Its chapters include the early years of the club’s formation, how it has developed over the years,
the history of The Vale, home of the club, the trials of achieving a good green and details of
matches played and social activities undertaken. Also included are appendices which list club
officers and competition winners. The text is interspersed throughout with photographs and
cartoons. Considering the lack of archival material the researchers have produced an interesting
history and it is hoped that researchers of the club’s history in 2110 will have more records to
consult!
May present and future members of the Oakham Bowling Club continue to enjoy their bowling
for many years to come.
