Club History

Club Opens in 1947

The club was opened on the 7th September 1947 on the grounds we maintain today.

Mr T. G. Melrose was the initial Patron of the club and in the photo attached you see him accepting the Foundation Cup.

Mr J. Jaaffe (President of the NQDBA) was the first person to release a bowl in any official capacity.

The club started with only one ring before developing a second rink some years after initial opening. The two rinks were grass rinks and required a fair amount of maintenance to keep them in playing condition.

Changes in 2022

2022 saw the sale of the eastern most rink (which now houses a medical facility and café).

The funds earned from the sale of the land allowed the opportunity to replace the remaining grass rink with artificial turf, which is now common in FNQ.

Club Events

The club holds many events through out the year, including home and away tournaments, The Cutheringa 4’s, QRI matches and many other bowls events.

The Cutheringa Rhinos (as affectionately known) recently won the most prestigious trophy available in North Queensland.

Held over four days, the Dunn Cup has been running since 1937. All district clubs enter a fours team, with two sections of eight clubs competing for the cup.

This is the 4th time a team from Cutheringa has won the event.
