Dapto BC is well advanced in a name change to Huntley Bowls and Sports Club believing it will help the club forge a new identity and attract new members.
The club presented its pennant teams with their new Huntley BC uniforms for the season opener last Saturday.
Dapto Bowling Club was formed by the Huntley miners in the 1950s. The club's new name will maintain a link to its heritage.
Club spokesman John Hennah said within the Dapto community there was often confusion regarding bowls with neighbours Dapto Citizens BC, and the new identity would assist both clubs.
The new Huntley Bowls and Sports Club has two bowls greens with the third green converted to Futsal.
