Taieri Bowling Club is one of Dunedin's oldest bowling clubs, formed in 1886 on Wickliffe Street, near Brooklands Park on the Taieri Plain. The club calls the plain the Pearl of the Plain. It has two natural greens, named Wilkins and McDonald after members who contributed to the club, and a four-rink indoor stadium used through the cooler winter months. Membership options are full playing, social playing, social non-playing, student and associate. The club also offers its facilities for casual hire, at reduced rates for members, and it can cater events.
The club says it has the largest membership in the Dunedin area, and it fields men's and women's premier interclub sides. Casual games are available for players who prefer a relaxed roll-up. It has three accredited coaches, and it was named Bowls New Zealand Club of the Year in 2022. The lounge and dining area is open to members and guests seven days a week. Enquiries can be sent to office@taieribowls.com. It suits social players and keen competitors alike, and anyone looking for a club venue for a function on the Taieri.
