The Bowling Green was laid down during the Autumn and Winter of 1929-1930 and tested out during the summer of 1930.
The club was formed in 1930 and has used the Worthing Borough Council owned green and clubhouse since that time.
Mr George Stracey convened the first meeting of the Club and was appointed its first Captain. He designed the club badge. Very shortly afterwards it was thought that the "brown" crown was not bright enough and was replaced with golden thread. George also donated the Stracey Shield in 1931 with the object of creating a keen rivalry between bowling clubs playing on greens within the Borough of Worthing. This Shield is still competed for today.
In 2001 the club accepted Lady members and became the first totally mixed bowls club in Worthing where all friendly matches are mixed. The club now boasts 35 Lady playing members in addition to 66 men.
In 2006 extensions were made to the East and West of the main club room to provide individual changing facilities for men and ladies with provision of their own toilet and wash areas.
