''Good Neighbour'' Fund - West of Scotland Indoor Bowling Centre Rutherglen

30 September 2025

Scottish Road Partnership via their 'Good Neighbour Fund' donate £500 to local Indoor Bowling Centre.

SRP Good Neighbour Fund Donation – £500.00 - October 2025

The West of Scotland Indoor Bowling Centre, 19 Glasgow Road, Rutherglen received a donation from Scottish Roads Partnership (SRP) after a successful application was made by this local community group.

On Thursday 30 October 2025, SRP Operations Managers Graham Drummond & Graeme Gwynne, visited the Indoor Bowling Centre to view the facilities and meet two of the staff, Sam O’Donnell, Development Officer and Neil McMonagle, Club Secretary & Club Coach. They were given a guided tour of the premises and viewed the playing surfaces, as well as the purchases made by the club with the funding, two sets of bowls & target games for younger players to practice their skills with.

Being a novice at the game, Graham Drummond took part in some practice shots with the bowls and targets to see for himself the skill level required to become a competent and competitive bowler.

The staff thanked SRP for the £500 donation to their club, which will help younger members to hone their skills in future years to come.

Members of the club enjoy utilising the centre, which includes a café, bar and private function suite, whilst meeting up with new friends, young and old, in the pleasant and helpful environment.

This large indoor facility is used extensively by numerous outdoor bowling clubs from around the central belt of Scotland during their  seasonal winter shut-down of outdoor bowling greens.
