Club Opening Day 2024

Totnes Bowling Club

New Season Begins

Despite the threatened wet and windy conditions Totnes Bowling Club held its opening day on Saturday 6th April with a good proportion of the members turning out. The club captain Fred Martin and the 2023 Men’s Champion, Ron Coish and the 2023 Ladies Champion, Jenny Goss all delivered their first bowls to make a start to the season.

The break in the rain did allow all the members present to take part in some bowling albeit for a short time until the weather turned worse once again.

The coming season is intended to be a busy one with a new impetus to attract new bowlers to the sport. Coaching sessions for anyone wanting to try out the sport will commence on Saturday 20th April from 10 am to 12 Noon and will continue every Saturday morning until September. The club is also involved in the Bowls England initiative “Bowls Big Weekend” when the club will be open to visitors from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday & Sunday 25th & 26th May 2024.

During this event the club will be visited by two former members, Sam Tolchard & Harry Goodwin whose bowling careers began at Totnes Bowls Club and have gone on to be bowls world champions. Anyone wanting to arrange a visit at any other time can contact the club membership secretary, Gary Hooper on 01364 73291

The coming season involves club teams competing in various bowls leagues plus a variety of friendly matches which start later in April and the club will be entertaining a number of bowls club teams who are visiting Devon for a variety of bowls holiday breaks.
