AboutThe Club

This name was formed from the initials of Thomastown, Epping, Lalor & Keon Park. The name was later changed to “Lalor Bowling Club” and was an extension of the T.E.L.K. Bowls club, which was formed in 1959.

The Foundation Members of the Club realized that the area had great potential for future population growth and set their sights in this regard. The nearest Bowling Clubs were situated at Reservoir and Whittlesea. Approximately three years after it’s inception, work began to lay a seven rink green. Fundraising was the keynote and the die was cast at a Committee meeting held in a garage in Maxwell Street Lalor, with a decision being reached to raise funds for the greens by a Co-Operative system. The members used various surrounding clubs, ie Whittlesea & Reservoir, to bowl until the Lalor Bowling Greens were installed and opened in February 1965.

Some of the original founding members of the Club were Mr. Ken Delbridge, Mr. Maurie Nelson, and Mr. Ray Harrison.
