The Victoria West Lawn Bowling Club was established 90 years ago to provide the opportunity in the community to play the sport of lawn bowling, a sport pursued by people of all ages and abilities for the fresh air, exercise and social involvement it provides. Members are mainly seniors. Over the years as the community has evolved and continues to do so, so has the club.
If interested there are also a number of In-House Tournaments throughout the summer, and for those who want a little more competitive Bowling there are many Tournaments on the South Island at various clubs as well as some BC Bowls tournaments. Active days over the winter including rumolli, bridge, short mat, mah jongg, yoga and scrabble.
The Vic West Lawn Bowling Club is more than lawn bowling. VWLB croquet offers an opportunity for those looking for an enjoyable outdoor activity that is challenging, competitive and social. Although croquet is not physically strenuous it can be mentally challenging. If you enjoy backyard croquet you will definitely enjoy croquet at VWLB.

On 22 June 2015 it was announced that bowling made the cut from the 28 sports to the last eight to become a new sport for the 2020 Summer Olympics. The shortlist of these sports for consideration was based on applications from 26 international sport federations, many of which have applied for inclusion in previous Olympic tournaments.[3] However, in September 2015 it was announced that bowling, together with wushu and squash, were left out for 2020. The 2020 Olympic Committee wanted sports that appeal to youth and wouldn’t require building new facilities to reduce cost.[2]
