Official opening of the 2024/2025 season
was held today at 1.00pm Sat 7 September
Hope it’s not a sign of what lies ahead this bowling season. It was a tad too windy to have the President v Vice President club opening tourney, yesterday, so games - still fun - were confined to indoors.
But first, Club Patron, Jenny Findleton, did the honours.
Seventy-eight years ago, the Miramar Bowling Club was born from a sponsored Meeting on the 27th of November after forty men with the support of the Wellington Bowling Centre, negotiated with the Wellington City Council to lease land at the southern end of Miramar Park.
The lease was for a period of 21 years with a right of renewal. The ground rental was £29 plus rates but payment not to commence until after five years of occupancy.
In 1946 a further public meeting was held and rules adopted for the embryo club and approval given for the issue of debentures. In May 1948 131 debentures had been issued and all repaid by 1950. The club became incorporated in January 1946.
The club was open for play on one green on November 1946.
Rents & Rates today over $12,000
In 1946 approx. $400.00

Jim and a team of volunteers spread the topsoil on our green this Sunday. The winter maintenance preparations will hopefully make our green one of the best in Wellington next year. Lots of hard work has been put in by Jim and our members.
Plus the framework for the sun shades have been erected.
Thanks also to Anna and her team for a delicious morning tea.
