About Us - Karingal Bowls Club

Our History

The Karingal Bowling Club has a rich history that dates back to the early 1960s. The club was established on a site originally reserved for a sports arena within the Karingal housing estate developed by A.V. Jennings. In 1969, Mr. Jack Fidge, who had previously started a club in Gippsland, spearheaded the initiative to form a bowling club on this site. A community meeting held at the local kindergarten garnered overwhelming support, leading to the formation of a committee and the official establishment of the Karingal Bowling Club.

The club’s name and logo, which features Indigenous artefacts, reflect its deep connection to the local community and heritage. The logo, designed by Dennis Guy, the foundation Treasurer, includes an Indigenous shield, spear, and kangaroo, symbolizing the meaning of “Karingal” as a “Happy hunting ground.”

Key Milestones

  • 1969: The club was officially founded on December 12, 1969, with Mr. Allan Harvey as the Foundation President.
  • 1970: The first green was laid, and games were played with afternoon tea served in the open air.
  • 1971: The clubhouse and second green were established, marking significant progress in the club’s development.

Early Fundraising Efforts

The initial committee focused on raising funds through various community-driven activities. Members purchased debentures, and the ladies organized raffles, coffee mornings, Tupperware parties, wig parties, progressive dinners, and Bingo games in private homes. These efforts were instrumental in the club’s early financial stability.

Not really happy out a reserve sign on the machine for not even 1 min to step away and the staff came up found me a And said your not allow to reserve machine if I could put a 0 star I would but google only allow 1 star

A nice cosy and social place

Not a bad club, plenty of room to improve but...

Great venue for tournaments all year round, day time and evenings.

Yeah the staff are lovely and I even went to school with a friendly patron familiarity and Cool staff enjoyed the night with the misses a good night except for no free soft drinks grrrrrrrr really need free soft drinks and grrrrrrr

Well both friendly and approachable attitude staff very friendly and helpful and considerate the patrons are down to earth who infact a nice lady gave me a lift home lol as I lost all my money.

staff are very friendly

Great service, friendly & polite patrons & staff too. Pokies are sufficient for the regular crowd & well spaced out. Great food, coffee machine & lattes served at bar. Lovely newly built undercover area for lawn bowls now & their Bingo day is also a great day out also. Lots of carparking spots too.

The ladies that were, there are absolutely awesome

Quit and relaxing there

Friendly staff.

Nice and small venue with friendly staff.

Was the worst bingo i have been to we were new was not told a thing about the running of the nigth i miss play my big game because it was not announced no welcome at all felt like we shouldn't of been there will not be back very sad

I went he to go to the loo and a take an above average time to to my business no more then 15min and whilst doing my business I was requested to leave threatened the police called on me and Insinuated I was doing something other then taking a dump and told they where closing when there was close to 20min till there advertised closing hours at 12 am and it is still only 11:59 and I left the establishment at 11:45

Great facilities and a great club.

Overall a complete fail, they were happy to pour two beers then to announce there is no option to get money out for the Slaps. I had a 10a it didn't get far on the queen of the Nile, Woulda love to be able to get a hunndy out and I woulda pulled a feature ya dogs. Had to walk home with a creepy local named Troy" It completely topped off the worse night of my life."

Best club bar none!

VB and lawns bowls. Not bad

We had our Christmas party there and I can not recommend them enough! Amazing staff all round. Very professional and fun. Was honestly the best night and everyone is talking about it today! Thank you to Philip and Philip 2.0 (Les)

Excellent staff and great prices

Great venue. Excellent place for barefoot bowls. Les is a great tutor and made our party of 10+ feel right at home. Highly recommend.

Great service and staff friendly

Great staff friendly atmosphere

The secrets punters strikes again. Couldn't chase my loses, they ran too far

Update July 22 still a great place to knock back a few with mates. Update visited with a couple of members and still a very friendly atmosphere with decent prices. I would love it if they had a wider beer selection. Dropped in to drink with a couple of mates who are members. Beer friendly staff and great drink prices. Really good atmosphere. Thanks.

Excellent venue to bowl undercover. Outdoor heating 4 spectators who choose to sit outside, or you can watch games inside on very large screen.

Lovely club

Love the green, friendly people thankyou for the experience.

The recently completed renovations at Karingal Bowling Club i.e. SKYEDOME undercover bowling green, SKYEDOME Bistro, etc will make it the envy of many other Clubs in Victoria, Australia

Rude staff. It's just a crumbly pokie place.

Poor
