The club was started in February 2000 as a ‘sporting’ venture backed by South Hams District Council. We celebrated 21 years in 2021 with a Christmas Buffet in the hall, and a short game of Bowls.
Since we began we have branched out; we reached the First Division in the South Hams League, but have now settled in the Third Division, playing friendlies with local clubs, entering local weekend charity tournaments, and some members have represented the club at the Devon Tournaments at Isca, Exeter. All abilities enjoy the personal and group challenges, and making social contacts.
We meet on Wednesday evenings in the hall at 6.45 – 9.45p.m., using our own equipment purchased over the years. We have bowls available for new members to use. Please wear flat, soft-soled, indoor shoes, or thick socks, to protect the mat.
Come and have a go, either as a former member, or as a new member willing to try a challenge. You will be welcome. It's £3.00 per club night, and £15.00 should you like it enough to join.
