Welcome to Balmain Bowling Club!

BBC was established in the School of Arts in 1879 and was incorporated as BBC in 1880. It is the oldest continuously operating Bowling Club in New South Wales.

The club commenced with one green which was extended in later years to two greens and in 1957 a third green was added. The third green was sold in 2002 to fund renovations.

The club participates in the NSW Pennants Competition and won the First Grade Pennant in 1927. It entered Grades 3 and 6 in the 2009 competition.

The club has seen many colourful characters over the years drawn from the maritime and industrial companies in the area. Today the Balmain peninsular has changed its character to one of high density living with many of the industries moving out of the area.

Apart from the state, zone and club bowling competitions the club has seen the development of barefoot bowling which is now very popular for social and corporate functions.

The club was extensively renovated in 2004 to provide a modern facility. The two-level floor area was converted to one level and now provides easy access to the spacious, bar, gambling and restaurant facilities. In 2008 a large external deck was constructed providing much-needed open space. Wheelchair access is available at the club's entrance in Darling Street.

The club is located at the junction of Darling Street and Ewenton Street, East Balmain.
