Meet Your Club Trustees 2026

Each of our Trustees has made significant contributions to the running of our bowls club 

and each one brings a unique set of skills and expertise to further improve the club for the benefit of all involved.

Bows club president Andy Thomson


'I count it a great honour to have been elected president of QMPBC for this year. I promise to do my best to represent the club well and to further the well-being of the club and all its members.


The charity that I've chosen for this year is the Carpenter's Arms. It seeks to help people who suffer addictions of various kinds, and I have seen for myself how effective they have been. Please support it in any way you can.


I wish you all a great season of bowling in 2026 - may it be both fun and successful'.


Regards,

Andy Thomson

OUR HISTORY

Quorn Mills Park Bowls Club was established in the early 1920s for workers at Wright Mills factory, and initially for men only (ladies were allowed to join in 1938). Messrs Wrights who have been manufacturing on Leicester Rd Quorn since 1870 originally produced fabrics for the footwear and corset trades, the factory today now produces high technology textiles for various industries including military, aerospace and leisure. Previous to this from 1906 bowls was played on the vicarage lawn. Wrights supplied the bowls for their employees, Mr Sidney Wright son of William Wright was a keen bowler and organised inter-department matches.


The thatch roof pavilion was built prior to the bowls club being formed as they appeared in the council minutes June 1919 the Park. In 1987 Mr. Michael Wright gave permission for the club to erect a larger clubhouse as the thatch pavilion became too small to house all its members. Planning permission was granted by Charnwood Borough council and work soon started after. Alice Boon club secretary at the time had seen a prefab bungalow used by a boat chandler in Kegworth which would serve the purpose.
