The bowling green was adjacent to the hotel. At the request of several gentlemen who are desirous of having the Bowling Green of the Sabloniere Hotel, Queen Street, reserved for their exclusive use on certain days each week the Proprietor has resolved on Establishing the above named Club. The inaugural president was Sir Charles McMahon, a former Police Commissioner and Speaker of the Lower House.
In 1880 we were a foundation club when the Victorian Bowling Association (VBA) was formed. The inaugural president of the VBA was Cr Samuel Amess, one of our bowlers and a former club president, and former Lord Mayor of Melbourne. The first VBA singles champion, G.W. Sims, was a member of the Club (and won a total of 19 championships in his time) and we have produced many state players since our inception.

All members get access to our fantastic facilities, as well as various events throughout the year and discounts across the bar. As a member, both full and social, you can bring a few friends down to socialise, have a friendly game of bowls and enjoy the sunshine (unless of course it's winter in which case, the rain will have to do!)
