Club House Rebuild 2013

Work got under way in March 2013 build a new clubhouse at Jedburgh Bowling Club after the original 100-year-old building was demolished.

The replacement facility was completed by the start of August 2013 a mear 5 months on from the demolition.

The project was made possible thanks to a £60,000 investment from sportscotland, £45,000 from the Jedburgh Common Good Fund, £30,000 from BCCF Environmental Group, £5,000 from Roxburgh Sports Council, £5,000 from Scottish Borders Council’s Community Grant scheme and a £70,000 loan from the Jedburgh common good fund

Now completed, the new facility incorporates separate changing rooms, additional toilets, full kitchen facilities, and a large recreational area. The project is supported by Bowls Scotland and the club will now form part of the governing body’s regional framework.

The club already has good links with Scottish Borders Council, but this project will help to further increase participation by strengthening connections with Active Schools and Sport Development teams.

Commenting on the investment from the sportscotland Sport Facilities Fund, Louise Martin, Chair of sportscotland, said:

“We are delighted to be supporting this thriving local club to build a new clubhouse, which will undoubtedly become a real asset for the whole community.

“sportscotland is committed to maximising the opportunities for people across Scotland to become involved in sport and this investment shows our commitment to help develop and support a world-class sporting system at all levels, which will inspire future generations to be the best they can be.”
