On December 6 1945, a group of Gulgong women interested in playing lawn bowls held a Foundation Meeting with the first game of bowls being played on March 28 1946 and affiliation with the NSW Women's Bowling Association in 1951.During the last fifty-four years, there have been fourteen presidents with Alice Gossage being the first. Long time members Joan Seis, Norma Raisin and Bev Murphy have all held positions on the committee for more than twenty years.Since the affiliation in 1951, there have been numerous changes to the game of lawn bowls but none as significant as the changes to the dress code.The term "White Leghorn" came from the original uniform. which was a white belted dress worn with white stockings, gloves and hat.The regulation length of the dress was eleven inches from the ground; a measure stick was kept in the ladies room so the dress length could periodically be checked from time to time.Source: The Mudgee Guardian, Thursday, Oct 6th 2005, page 17
