The New Bowling & Community Pavilion
Friday 27 August 2010 The Supporters Group have been working tirelessly to have a new bowling & community pavilion built as the previous one had burnt down 7 years ago. The new club has been officially opened and around 50 people attended the grand opening which was a huge success. The bowlers then went on to compete in The Sid Smith Challenge Cup competition. It was beautiful day and everyone had a wonderful time. Burnley Rd and Queens Park ladies bowling groups are now going to join the Corporation Park Bowling Club.
