Welcome to Torquay Bowling Club
Latest Committee Meeting Minutes
The minutes of the Committee Meeting held on 10th March are now available on the Club Members pages.
Pre-Season Lunch Arrangements
Sadly the Pre-Season Lunch (remember it started off as a Christmas lunch) on Friday 9th April has fallen victim to Covid yet again. The hope now is to have an evening meal at the Belgrave Sands Hotel, mid to late summer. Nothing can be arranged until the hotel is open for bookings.
Men’s Meeting
The Men’s Meeting scheduled for Friday 9th April is unlikely to be held for the obvious reasons. Thanks to everyone returning the slips indicating which leagues they would like to play in has enabled the captains and selectors to draw up their plans. If the meeting is cancelled then all the men will be contacted to inform them which squads they have been included in.
The 2021 Fixture List
The 2021 Fixture List has been updated (29 March 2021) and is available here. Because the fixtures keep changing for reasons beyond our control it has been decided not to issue members with a fixture book in 2021. Copies of the fixtures will be on display in the Club House as well as here on the web site.
Club Charity
For 2020 the club’s charity is Devon Air Ambulance. There will be plenty of opportunities to donate to this great cause throughout the year.

You can use the Contact page to email June, our Secretary. Contact details for all of our Committee Members and League Team Captains and Selectors can be found on the Club Directory page or email torquaybowlingclub@gmail.com.
Items for sale
From time to time the club has surplus items which we would like to dispose of. These can be found on the For Sale page. For club members an area has been set aside on the notice boards for you to advertise bowls clothing and equipment both wanted and for sale.
Riviera Tournament
We are co-hosts of the annual English Riviera Open Bowls Tournament. Cancelled for 20020 due to Coronavirus, in 2021 it will be held between 20th and 26th June. Full details from the tournament web-site

Bowls Tours to Torquay
Why you should come, where to stay and what to do
For a successful tour you want a comfy bed, good food, enjoyable bowling and something to do when not bowling. To help you plan your tour and make the most of your time we have put together a page with a mixture of local information and selected adverts. More content will be added so keep coming back to see what is on offer.
