This series contains materials concerning the operations and functions of the Garneau Lawn Bowling Club. The club was officially founded in 1955. The Lawn Bowling Club was one of the five original committees when the Garneau Community League was incorporated in 1962. The Lawn Bowling Club, like the Tennis Club, held a degree of independence from the Community League until the late 1970s due to a change in Provincial Law regarding the way financial reporting was to be conducted. The Club was divided into two clubs: Men’s Lawn Bowling and Ladies Lawn Bowling. The Men’s Lawn Bowling Club concluded operations in 1983 while the Ladies Lawn Bowling Club continued. The reason for the closure of the men's club was dwindling membership due to the construction of superior lawn bowling greens at the Commonwealth Lawn Bowling Club following the 1978 Commonwealth Games. The rest of the lawn bowling club ended in 1990 due to insufficient funds to maintain the greens. Some of the remaining club members joined the Royal Lawn Bowling Club. When Catalyst Theatre began its lease of the Community Centre, the greens were converted into sand volleyball courts. This series consists of financial statements, a ledger, correspondence, club minutes, photographs, badges, pins, and a championship flag.

The fonds consists of the minutes, bylaws, financial statements, correspondence, photographs, memorabilia, and newsletters of the Klondike Trailer Club, the Coachmen Travel Club, and the Klondike Coachmen RV Club. The majority of the records were generated by the Klondike Trailer Club from its establishment in 1966 until its amalgamation with the Coachmen Travel Club in 2000. Also included are records generated during the Klondike Trailer Club’s membership with the Alberta Travel Trailer Association and its successor, the Camping Club of Alberta.

Some of the objects included with the records are signs meant for placement on recreational vehicles to signify membership with the Club, a picket sign of the Klondike Trailer Club’s mascot ‘Klondike Mike’ which denotes the trailer unit’s membership number, a patch, a hat, and pins.

The photographs include images of Klondike Travel Club events from both summer and winter gatherings. The photographs have been processed in the albums in which they were donated in order to provide context for the unlabelled and unidentified images.
