The Rhymney Gwent Bowls Club was founded in 1926 and is based in War Memorial Park,Rhymney.

The War Memorial Park was officially opened on 9th. May 1925 and the site included a bowling green and tennis courts.

The opening ceremony was preceded by a procession through the main streets of the Rhymney and concluding in the park itself. The Parade was headed by the Rhymney Brass Band, they were joined by representatives of all the public bodies.

The club itself also has a rich history in Welsh bowls. The club has produced 4 international players and a large number of County and District representatives. Players from the club have been successful in every aspect of the bowls world including a former Welsh singles champion.

Currently our club president, Mr. Noel Tippett, is serving his term as President of the Welsh Bowling Association after being elected in 2009. This election, a first for the club, only goes to strengthen the clubs association and traditions within the welsh bowls fraternity.
