Bodmin Bowls Club Renovation of Clubhouse Roof to enable an expansion of Community Use

The Bodmin Bowls Club was formed in 1922 on its present site at 4 Castle Canyke Road, Bodmin, Cornwall PL31 1DU as a private members club. Its Clubhouse was built in 1971 and in 1972 it constructed a 4/5 rink indoor bowls green at the rear of and connected to its pavilion/clubhouse. In 2014 the club changed its status to that of a registered Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC), open to the wider community. In 2016 the Indoor Bowls Hall, including the bowling surface, underwent a full refurbishment and in 2017/18 the Clubhouse was likewise renovated. The Club has an ambitious Sport Development Plan which includes objectives to actively encourage the Community to become involved in the benefits of sport for all ages, leading to improving their activity and health.

A professional survey of the Clubhouse roof earlier this year following some initial signs of damp internally, showed significant problems, which if not immediately addressed, may shortly cause extensive water damage and thus potentially result in closure of part or the whole of the Clubhouse. This would prevent the delivery of the planned additional Community use of the bowls club's facilities. Consequently there is an urgency to renovate the whole of the Clubhouse's extensive flat roof.
