"A bowling green and clubhouse were eventually established in or about 1961."
For many years the club played its matches in the shadow of the great cooling towers in Raw Dykes Road.
Keith said: "Our final game took place on Sunday, September 27.
"It was the final game despite many protests, developers will be moving in this coming winter to build flats on that hallowed turf.
"So yet another sports ground and green area in the city will be lost for ever.
"Blame does not lie with the developer – it has given us much help and assistance in our endeavours to remain together as a club, albeit in another location. Our thanks to the developer for that.
"Blame, if blame can be levelled at anyone, goes to the Leicester City Council planners for allowing central city green playing fields and green spaces to be built upon.
"Fortunately, Brookfield Bowls Club, in Kimberly Road, came to our rescue and has agreed to our moving en bloc, leasing a spare green and sharing its facilities, thus ensuring we maintain our status as the Leicester Electricity Bowls Club. Our thanks for that."
"We look forward with anticipation to 2010, to make new friends and to continue to renew old friendships after almost 50 years at Raw Dykes Road."
