The Flemington Kensington Bowling Club is not only our most enduring local sporting organisation, but also our longest-lasting cultural and social institution. Founded in 1892 by some of Flem Ken's pioneers, the Bowls Club has for over 115 years been a gathering spot for sport, entertainment, political debate and good times. From the very beginning it was envisioned to be a "rallying centre where the residents could meet each other, not only for amusement, but for the discussion of matters of public and local interest." It has done that, with barefoot bowls and hipster beer and more.
