In 1917 the rinks were laid out in his back garden, facing what is now Lawn Road. They were mainly used by returning servicemen at the end of the war. When Dan Mason gifted the Recreation Ground to the town in 1921 by way of his personal thanks to the troops, he set up a bowling green in the grounds (now the present Broadstairs & St Peters Bowls Club), closing not only his personal double bowling rink in Pierremont Park, but also the Apsley House Bowls Club. A BIG CELEBRATION In 2016 we celebrated our centenary year. To mark the occasion, we organised several exciting games and visits, one being to play the Royal Household in Windsor. It was a perfect way to mark our incredibly special year. We then played host to the Royal household in a return match and it was a wonderful day. Thinking of Joining? If you are looking for good company, gentle exercise, friendship and maybe some competition in the heart of beautiful Broadstairs, then why not come and join us at Broadstairs & St Peter's Bowls Club. broadstairsbowl.secretary@outlook.com https://broadstairsandstpetersbowls.uk","meta_description":"OUR HISTORY Aspley House Bowls Club was set up by Dr Brightman (Broadstairs Council chairman) during WW1.
