History
The North Vancouver Lawn Bowling Club was formed in 1923 at 2160 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver. It is one of the oldest sporting organisations on the North Shore and one of the largest lawn bowling clubs in North America. Since its foundation the club has catered to all levels of play and has hosted tournaments at the club, district, provincial and national levels. The club has also hosted many social events for its members throughout the season. Membership of the club has grown steadily since its foundation, from 40 in 1923 to 270 as of 2013. The club house was built in 1924 and has undergone extensive renovation over the years. A club history from 1923 to 1984 has been compiled from club records by J.S. Terry.
