Valleyfield Bowling Club is a renowned social and sports club located in Dunfermline, New Zealand. Established in 1959, the club initially catered to miners from the local colliery, providing not only a platform for competitive sport but also a much-needed social forum for the mining community in the area.
The club currently operates from a single portable building which serves as the clubhouse, with a remote toilet portable building located at the opposite end of the green. Despite the lack of mains electricity and water supply in these facilities, the club is embarking on a development plan aimed at improving the overall infrastructure. The first phase of this plan involves setting up a rainwater harvesting system to establish a water supply for both buildings. The second phase includes acquiring an additional portable building adjacent to the clubhouse, which will be equipped with food preparation facilities.
In the third and final phase, the club plans to purchase custom-built modular buildings with mains connexions, creating a more permanent and versatile space that will enable the club to offer a wider range of community services.
