Palmerston North Bowling Club is the oldest bowling club in Manawatu, established in 1889. It is unique in being the only freehold club in Palmerston North and one of a few in New Zealand. It has the largest membership of bowlers in Palmerston North. == History == The Palmerston North Bowling Club was formed at a meeting held in the Commercial Hotel on 23 December 1889 with nine persons in attendance. A special committee was set up in November 1899 to investigate the purchase of a property in Taonui Street and to rent a strip of land on the North Side of the club in Lombard Street in order to allow for more playing area. On 18 October 1958 the Linton Street complex comprising the new club rooms and two greens was opened by His Worship the Mayor Blair Tennant. As a member Phil Skoglund represented New Zealand at the 1970 Commonwealth Games. In 1989, the club celebrated its 100th year, by hosting a Centennial Tournament. The club annually holds a four player tournament attracting entries from all over New Zealand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palmerston North Bowling Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
