Welcome to Torquay Bowling Club
February Newsletter
There is a newsletter for all club members which you can find by logging into the members area.
Christmas / Pre-Season Lunch Arrangements
With all of the uncertainty caused by changing Covid restrictions the Christmas Lunch was moved to January. Because the uncertainty is becoming even more uncertain, the Lunch has now been moved to Friday 9th April. With the rollout of the vaccines this will hopefully be the last change of date.
Short Mat – Latest
With Covid lockdown there can’t be a resumption of Short Mat in the foreseeable future. If the rules are relaxed in time then it will return before the outdoor season gets underway.
Scam Warning
We are aware a number of e-mails have been sent to members of the bowling community in Devon purporting to come from bowlers, some of whom you will know or have heard of. Be aware and don’t reply to any e-mail asking for help. Sadly there are a number of scams active at any one time and some links to help keep everyone aware of what is going on have been added to the Links page in the Members area of the website.

The 2021 Fixture List has been updated (18 February 2021) and is available here.
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.
