Are you the owner of Collingwood bowling club?
Collingwood Bowling Club, located in North Shields, has been a thriving hub for bowlers since 1902. This historic club has a rich heritage and has played a significant role in promoting the sport of bowling in the community. The club takes its name from Admiral Lord Collingwood, a naval hero who played a significant role in the Battle of Trafalgar.
Bowling has a long and storied history, and Collingwood Bowling Club is proud to be a part of it. From the famous story of Sir Francis Drake playing bowls while watching the Spanish Armada approach, to the present day, bowling has evolved and become a beloved sport throughout the world.

In 2014/15, Collingwood Bowling Club took over the Heaton Terrace bowling park, which was previously unused. Since then, the club has worked tirelessly to refurbish and improve the park, transforming it into a beautiful and well-maintained facility. The efforts of the club, along with the generous support of sponsors and local and national charities, have brought the park back to life.
Collingwood Bowling Club is a registered charity and relies on the support of its sponsors and the community to continue its operations. The club is immensely grateful to North Tyneside VODA, a vital mentor and advisor throughout the refurbishment process. Their guidance and support have been instrumental in the club's success and the improvements made to the pavilion and park.
