History and Captains of Supermarine Bowls Club

Supermarine Bowls Club was formed in 1947 under the name of Vickers Sports & Social Club. Changed name to Supermarine Sports & Social Club in 1985. This was after the Supermarine Spitfire built by Vickers Armstrong. We are a private members club and in 2004 we purchased our own green and clubhouse,thanks to the generosity of its members, and help from the English Bowling Association.(Now known as Bowls England)
The club completes in two leagues, Swindon & District, and Wiltshire Bowls Association. Supermarine Bowls Club have won the Swindon & District League 3 times.
In the year 2002 members of Wills Bowls Club joined us and we now have two teams in the S&D League's and one team in the Wiltshire League. For afternoon bowlers we have three teams in the S&D Afternon League.Also we will have a ladies Section of about 20 ladies running one team in the evening league,and one in the afternoon league.
