is very much looking forward to another year of both competitive and social bowling. The Club, affiliated to Bowls Devon, has around sixty members and meets socially throughout the season (April to September) on Tuesday evenings at 6.00pm. Both Ladies and Gentlemen members also play competitive matches in the South Devon and Mid Devon Leagues respectively against local clubs in the Torbay and South Hams area. The game of bowls is not a particularly arduous sport and is therefore suitable for for all ages and abilities but it can be a very skillful game when played at its highest levels. It’s a great way to make new friends and most games are played with a smile and a friendly handshake! The season formally starts on Saturday 18th
A April with
the Opening Bowl. It is customary for the first wood to be bowled by the Mayor of Dartmouth and, after an hour or two of play, members retire to the clubhouse for a well earned tea. The Club will be holding a number of Taster Days for those who have not yet experienced the game and may like to join the Club. These will be held on Saturday and Sunday 11th
and 12th April from 10.00am
and then on the next two Tuesday evening club nights. All the equipment will be provided, just come along with some flat soled shoes or trainers. Of course, any experienced
