A Short History of  Bowls Safety Bay Incorporated

• The Club was formed in 1951 with no money, the lease of an area of sand hills, less than 30 members but a ton of enthusiasm from hard working volunteers.  Today we have four synthetic greens.  We still boast a dedicated band of loyal, hard working volunteers, a well equipped clubhouse and a membership in excess of 550.

• November 1953 the first green was laid.

• February 1956 the Inaugural Opening of the Club.

• April 1961 the Official Opening of the new Club House.

• July 1972 the name changed to Safety Bay Bowling and Recreation Club.

• May 2000 the first lady was elected on to the Club Committee as Vice President.

• August 2000 the first game was played on the new synthetic green.

• Metropolitan Club Of The Year 2000/2001 and again in 2002/2003.

• In May 2008 the Women and Men Members formed a united Club and changed its name to Bowls Safety Bay Incorporated
  

• Throughout its history volunteers and Committee members with good management skills, foresight and financial expertise have served the Club.  Mention must be made of the contribution made by the Rockingham Road Board, (later to become the Rockingham Shire Council then the City of Rockingham Council) to the evolution of the Club.  Our many sponsors have also played a part.
