Ladies Section at the Vale Bowling Club

The Vale of Leven Bowling Club Ladies' Section was formed in 1923 when 15 members' wives managed to get their menfolk to allow them the use of the east green for one afternoon per week. An annual subscription of 5 shillings (25p) was charged for membership.

The first lady champion was a Mrs. Taig who was awarded the princely sum of £1.00 from the men's committee. This doesn't sound like much but to put it in context it was four times the annual subs.

The first recorded A.G.M. of the Ladies' Section was held in the clubhouse on 28 April 1926, when Mrs. J Rogers was elected President. By 1935 the membership had risen to 25 and it was agreed that they should join the newly formed Scottish Women's Bowling Association.

Sadly, due to lack of members, the Ladies Section is no more but ladies who want to join are welcome to do so as full members.
