Interest in sports returned to normal at the end of World War II as shown in this report from the Armidale Express September 17, 1945, which reads: "Sociability and good sportsmanship was the order of the day for the Armidale Bowling Club on the occasion of the visit by Walcha bowlers at the weekend.

"President K. Jones, in extending a welcome to the guests, said it gave pleasure to the members of the club to know that the long break that had existed between visits had now ended."
In October 1951 the Walcha Municipal Council decided it should divest itself of its longstanding commercial interest in the bowling club and sold its remaining assets in the green to the club for £877.
Major alterations and additions were made to the clubhouse during 1956 to the extent that it warranted an official opening on Sunday, September 16.
The report in the Walcha News on the following Thursday reads in part: "Mr Ken Jones vice-president of the New England District Bowling Association performed the opening ceremony during the tea break.
"He said the work has brought the Walcha Clubhouse to the stage where it can now offer facilities similar to those available at other bowling clubs."
The clubhouse was built on the southern side of the original green.
There it remained until Friday, January 12, 1962, when Walcha's most severe flood transported it across the green and through the Captain Cook Park fence before leaving it stranded in the middle of the playing field some 200 yards from its original location.
Jack Fleming, a Tamworth house mover, was entrusted with shifting the building from the oval and placing it in a new location on the western end of the green, making way for the second green that was opened in 1966 on the southern side of the first green.
In mid-1969 the club decided to build a new clubhouse on the eastern end of the original green, the site of an old residence that had been there for many years and which had, for a time, been the greenkeeper's home.
