The Maidenhead Town Club was formed in 1942 from the nucleus of the old Maidenhead and Taplow Bowling Club where the Green was originally behind the Dumb Bell Public House in Taplow. (Many of the original trophies are still played for today). Despite the ongoing Second World War, the Club was reformed at the Municipal Bowling Green in Oaken Grove Park on 13th July 1942, with a friendly match against Burnham.
The Official opening took place on 13th August 1942. The newly formed Maidenhead Town Bowling club was opened at Oaken Grove by the Mayor Mr H.H. Neve, Mr Campbell Dyke, President of the EBA and President of Berkshire, plus other officers from Berkshire were in attendance.
