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.
