Belvedere Bowls Club

Belvedere Bowls Club has entered a new era. The club has a new name, new green and a new clubhouse. But as new as it is, it can also claim a long and successful history...  

Belvedere Bowls Club
A Brief History

 

The first green was opened in the 1920's by the brewing company Ind Coope and Allsop. Although originally meant as a purely social activity for its employees it entered a team into the Burton Association and won the Association Championship in 1928. In the following years it won the League Championship and the Charity Cup on several occasions.

In 1968 Allied Breweries took over Ind Coope and Allsop and the club took on the name of the parent company. It later reverted back to Ind Coope when the company went through a period of restructuring.  

In 1996 bowlers from the Gardens Bowling Club integrated with Ind Coope after losing their green at the BTR ground. The club changed it's name to Belvedere Park and once again enjoyed the sort of success and honours as it had done in the 1930's.

2013 saw many changes to the club. The site on which it stands was redeveloped, two thirds of it now housing a school. Although the number of greens was reduced to two, it did see a new green being created and a new clubhouse.  The club is now known as Belvedere Bowls Club.
