Outdoor Bowls
Our six-rink bowling greens are in use from mid-April until late September. The club participates in league and cup competitions throughout Devon and plays friendly matches against local clubs. Throughout the summer the club plays host to numerous teams. There are also internal, county and national tournaments for those wanting to participate.
Free tuition, coaching and loan of bowls are available for new members or those wishing to join.

Internal Outdoor Competitions 2024
The draw has been completed for those who entered the internal competitions for the outdoor season. A file with the results of the draw and the results of matches as the competitions progress can be viewed here. Copies of the draw will also be posted in the changing rooms where players are asked to update the winner after each match.
Each round of the competitions should be completed by the dates below
As we have a number of new and beginner bowlers this year here is a reminder of how the internal competitions proceed.
The challenger (first person named for a match) should preferably contact their opponent to arrange a suitable time. Please remember to check for matches in the fixtures book and also the desk diary.
For singles matches, the challenger is also responsible for finding a marker. Please enter your match details in the desk diary including the name of the marker if one is required.
On the day, the marker asks one of the players to blindly select a rink (tokens 1-6 in a string bag on the front desk).
The marker will also toss a coin to see who has the choice of first mat.
The marker will offer the players trial ends…..usually 2 ends with 2 woods each end.
After the match please, if convenient, take a photo of the scorecard and email the organisers a copy (if you are able!). Place the actual card in the internal comps pigeon hole and mark up the copy of the draw in the changing room indicating the winner.
The winner may offer the loser and marker a drink as appropriate if the bar is open!
Dress code for finals will be to please wear whites and club shirts. Markers may wear greys.
Please pay entry fees before you commence playing.
Please go ahead and start arranging your first matches. Remember that the rinks are available most evenings.
Revised Rules
The Committee has agreed and issued a new set of Rules for Club Internal Outdoor Competitions. These are largely similar to previous versions. One major change is that if a player is not available to start a competition match within 30 minutes of the agreed start time, then they will forfeit the game.
