Alongside players and members, Justin Tomlinson MP officially opened the new changing rooms at Stratton Churchway Bowls Club.
The new changing rooms were built with money that Justin helped secure from Sport England and have made a significant difference to the club.
Committee Member Alan Gough said "Our £50,000 lottery grant has transformed our club, and the facilities that we offer to our members, with our local councillors & Justin's support from the start of the application process was key and we are very grateful. Any other local groups thinking of applying for a lottery grant then you should do it with the support of your NGB, councillors and other groups within Swindon.
"I urge the local community to come and see the new changing rooms for themselves at our Open Day on Saturday 20th July 11am - 6pm. Come and try bowls, target bowls, bowls coaching, tuition, come and see us as part of the Stratton Festival Grange Drive. Everyone is welcome to try bowls just wear flat soled shoes."
Justin Tomlinson MP said "The new facilities at Stratton Churchway Bowls are fantastic and I know what a difference they will make to the Club. I am always happy to champion Swindon's excellent sports clubs with national sporting bodies to help them secure the funding they need to spread their sport to the local community."
