In 1979 a block of land in Dunns Street, Silverstream was provided for the establishment of the club. The new land was some distance from Pinehaven which forced the original group of residents not to proceed with the project. The First Green The sod for the first green was turned in December 1980 with full construction commencing in January 1981. On the recommendation of turf culture specialist Peter Rankin the green was sand based and modelled on the Island Bay club which had constructed a sand based green in 1979.
Many hours of toil by the original band of 50 members resulted in a green being opened for play on 8th December 1981. By the following season the playing surface had improved with the Wellington Bowling Centre using the greens for a day during the men's national championships that were held in Wellington during the season. The club was granted affiliation to the Wellington Bowling Centre and therefore to the New Zealand Bowls Association at the beginning of the season and still remains the second youngest club in Wellington. With the assistance of Milan Kljakovic, a local builder and club member, the building was quickly turned into a working clubhouse for members.
The Second Green A further increase in membership of both men and women encouraged the club to expand its facilities with the addition of a second green. It was seven or eight years before the tillea was finally eradicated from the green. Stage One was a complete refurbishment of the kitchen and Stages Two and Three involved replacing the toilet facilities, providing a new entrance and making the premises disabled friendly. In the season the club won the Wellington Premier Interclub title for the first time and members continued to distinguish themselves on the playing field.
Clare McCaul now Hendra who joined the club in , having graduated through the college bowls system, was selected for the New Zealand under 25 team and became Junior Bowls World Champion in 2011. Robyn Tuckett played representative bowls for Wellington and Adam Turner won the Centre 1 5 year Champion of Champion singles in 2011 and to date continues to show excellence at club and representative levels. 1 green surface, a decision was made in 2013 to completely reconstruct the green. That small group has now expanded to about 40 in number! A year of fund raising produced sufficient money, together with substantial help from the Bowling Club, to commence building a further five pistes.
We now have an attractive, sunny and sheltered area on which all our members can play at any one time and where we can host other clubs for competitions and small tournaments. Many members enjoy playing p tanque as a social activity for some however, the fun of the sport expands to bring in the more competitive side. P tanque members are active supporters of the social activities of Silverstream Bowls Petanque. As part of their membership, the bowling members are entitled to play p tanque at any time and it is hoped more will take advantage of this and play during their winter off season.
