Today we welcomed West End (Southampton) Tour for a very enjoyable afternoon of bowling  Thank goodness summer has arrived !

On Sunday we welcomed Hertfordshire City Ladies Tour.  Together with a little help from ladies from other local clubs we were able to have all seven rinks open  Thanks to a lot of hard work by our members in the kitchen we were also able to offer the ladies a lunch before the match as they had just arrived in Babbacombe direct from Hertfordshire  Despite a very early start in the day for all their members, they played exceptionally well The weather was kind to us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon

Since the start of the season we have welcomed various bowling clubs for friendly matches together with tourist clubs from Fossway, Avonmouth, Great Torrington, Suttons and Leicester and County.  We have also hosted the Under 25’s Singles for Bowls Devon.  The weather has not always been kind to us but we have all enjoyed the camaraderie.  Here are a couple of photos from our game against Leicester and County

In our first week of bowling after our Open Week, we welcomed three local clubs for friendlies – Upton Park, Bitton Park and Kingsteinton – together with our first tourist match against Fossway Bowling Club  – here are some photos from 30 April 2019 when we played Kingsteignton
