Meet Your Club Trustees 2024

Each of our Trustees has made significant contributions to the running of our bowls club 

and each one brings a unique set of skills and expertise to further improve the club for the benefit of all involved.

Bows club president David Walters

"It is an honour to be elected Club President for 2024.

Jean Willson has done an excellent job as 2023 President and I hope to continue her good work in 2024.


I believe the club is in great shape with lots of new members enjoying the sport with us.


I know there are a number of exciting things planned for the coming season which I hope will consolidate QMPBC as one of the best clubs in the county.


I firmly believe that with our membership and our facilities we should be in for an amazing season of what we all enjoy doing - BOWLING.


Win draw or loose lets do our best, keep safe, look after each other and above all have FUN."


Dave Walters.

    OUR HISTORY

    Quorn Mills Park Bowls Club was established in the early 1920s for workers at Wright Mills factory, and initially for men only (ladies were allowed to join in 1938). Messrs Wrights who have been manufacturing on Leicester Rd Quorn since 1870 originally produced fabrics for the footwear and corset trades, the factory today now produces high technology textiles for various industries including military, aerospace and leisure. Previous to this from 1906 bowls was played on the vicarage lawn. Wrights supplied the bowls for their employees, Mr Sidney Wright son of William Wright was a keen bowler and organised inter-department matches.


    The thatch roof pavilion was built prior to the bowls club being formed as they appeared in the council minutes June 1919 the Park. In 1987 Mr. Michael Wright gave permission for the club to erect a larger clubhouse as the thatch pavilion became too small to house all its members. Planning permission was granted by Charnwood Borough council and work soon started after. Alice Boon club secretary at the time had seen a prefab bungalow used by a boat chandler in Kegworth which would serve the purpose.
