We are situated at 94 Victoria Parade on the southside bank of the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton between the two bridges. Easy parking at the back of the clubhouse. The aim of lawn bowls is to roll the bowls, which are slightly radially asymmetrical, as close to the white ball (known as the jack or kitty) as you can.
The precision part of the game is the weight or force you put on the delivery of the bowl and how far you bowl from the centre line, referred to as how much "grass" you take. The Rockhampton Bowls Club is very proud of its history and is privileged to share it with you. We will present you with information that will be of interest; not only to our members but more so to non-members who would like to try the game of bowls.

Centenary 2012
Report
The meeting was held at the Leichhardt Hotel and Mrs Duthie presented the club a trophy to commemorate the occasion. This trophy is on display at the club. Records show that many Rockhampton business people have been heavily involved with the club over many years. The dedication of greenkeepers and stable committees allowed the club to flourish.

Teams play for the perpetual Capricornian Shield with winners and runners-up receiving plaques and medallions sponsored by The Capricornian. Play starts at 7pm but players are required to arrive between 6pm and 6.30pm so monies can be collected and draws allocated. All players are required to pay a one-off $10 temporary membership fee for the year to cover insurance.
Members
Report
If you need to notify the secretary of any member falling ill, the club may be able to help. If you have any genuine complaint, please email bowls@rockhamptonbowls.com.au and it will be investigated and a reply given. The Rockhampton Bowls Club is run by volunteers. The chores are many and the club wouldn't function as it does without the kind generosity and time given by our volunteers.
