Our Club
Orwell Bowling Club was founded in 1890 and took its name from the parish of Orwell. In its first year games were played on the bowling green situated between Backloan and Victoria Avenue in Milnathort.
In 1931 the club moved to its present location with the money for the move and the new green being raised by holding whist drives and fetes
in the local area.
Orwell Bowling Club has been associated with Clackmannan District since well before the Second World War and in those early years, the players would travel to games by train on the Devon Valley Line.
It has had had some history over the years and we want to ensure that
Orwell Bowling Club continues to play a part in supporting our Community for many years to come.
Our full members play bowls regularly 2/3 times a week as a minimum and many take part in internal club competitions. We play friendly matches throughout the season with teams visiting us and vice versa. It really is a friendly sport for all age groups.
The club is well represented in external competitions at local level within the district and have, in recent years, managed to get our champions of of several competitions to the Scottish Bowling National Finals which are held in Ayr - which is no mean feat!
On the social side, the club is open every Friday and Saturday night for a social evening of darts, pool, dominoes and bingo for our members and guests from the community where everyone can meet new friends, catch up with a chat and have an enjoyable and relaxing evening.
In the winter months the club hosts various activities such as darts, bridge, whist and bingo teas, keeping up the social side to the club and reaching out to local residents once the bowling season is over.
Orwell Bowling Club is well run by our committee who wish to publicise the great facility we have here which is also available for private functions, parties and in general as a great meeting place as our local Probus Club can confirm.
The club has a well-stocked bar and a great kitchen that can be used by caterers in all types of food preparation.
