The first meeting of the committee took place on 28th September 1892. Mr James Brown, Secretary, submitted a draft constitution and rules which he had drawn up to save time. The first clause stated 'That the Association be called The Scottish Bowling Association'. After giving careful consideration to the draft the committee agreed that the same should be placed before a meeting of delegates to be held on 5th October 1892.
At that meeting, fifty delegates were in attendance with Mr D.L. Stevenson in the chair. The draft constitution and rules were considered by the delegates and, after a few alterations, were adopted as the constitution and rules of the Association. It was also agreed that the first General Meeting of the Association be held within the Waterloo Rooms, Glasgow on Wednesday 23rd November 1892, at 3 o'clock pm.
At the first General Meeting, the Secretary reported that one hundred and twenty-two clubs had joined the Association. Fifty eight clubs were represented by delegates. (Unfortunately there is no record of the names of the other sixty four clubs).
The first item of the agenda was the election of office bearers which
resulted as follows:-
| President | Dr. John Clark, Partick Club, Glasgow |
| Vice-President | T.A. Croal, Hillside Club, Edinburgh |
| Secretary and Treasurer | James Brown, Sanquhar |
