 Bogleha’ BC (established 1923) comprises of a Lawn Bowling Green with Club House, kitchen facilities and Bar. Bogleha’ Bowling Club is a Member Club and operates under the rules and guidelines of ‘Bowls Scotland' whos main aim is to promote Bowls in a safe environment. The committee has a responsibility to maintain the Club assets AND protect the players from harm.The Bowling Green  must conform to National Rules -Boundaries must be in a safe condition  and the Lawn should level.  In order to conform, maintenance work requires to be done .

The Club Bowling green and the Clubhouse are interdependent , so the maintenance of the green will continue to encourage players and spectators to use the facilities.  Any profit made by the Club is re-invested to improve the facilities which in turn benefits the wider community who wish to use the Hall to host events/hold parties etc.  These  events benefit the local community as many participants and visitors use local accomodation and catering businesses.

Bowling is a safe sport for all abilities and ages and brings the positive benefit of enjoying the outdoors,  reducing stress , meeting new people and encouraging a sense of community 

The project will be started at the end of the current bowling season - Autumn 2025 and would be completed  within 2 weeks (weather permitting). The members will be encouraged to assist the contractor to keep the cost of work down and to gain some knowledge and new skills (turfing, re-seeding,carpentry)- they will also have the satisfaction of being part of the  improvement of the playing facilities
