The Liberty of Havering Bowling Club was established in 1909,our club takes it name from the district which was once part of the Royal Liberty of Havering .
From Saxon times until the eighteenth century a Royal Palace or Bowe stood at the top of the hill at Havering , the surrounding area benefited and was made a Royal Liberty .
The privilges of the Royal Liberty were confirmed by a charter from King Edward 1V in 1465,
our club started in Romford and the original site can be seen on the map of the club house.
When Romford was redeveloped in the mid sixties and the Liberty shopping precinct was built the
club moved to the British Railways Sports Ground in Squirrels Heath Lane, Ardleigh Green where
it rented a green.
British Rail sold off their sports grounds in the nineties and in 1993 a green was built in Harrow Lodge
Park and we moved to our present site where an agreement was made and although a seperate club we
have a happy relationship and share facilities with the Havering Indoor Club.
We have about 35 men and 21 lady members, both men and ladies sections play in the local leagues,
the majority of the friendly matches played are mixed .
We have a mixed club afternoon every Tuesday and Friday, the clubs name is well known throughout
the county, having supplied two National Presidents in its history.
A number of our players have, and some still are representing the county at the highest level,competitively
the club has a very good record, winning numerous County competitions and several National Titles.
