Bowls Club Tour June 2026

The tourists enjoyed a wonderful week based in Torquay. Leaving in torrential rain, we could only hope for better weather ahead. By the time we reached Haynes Motor Museum for a welcome break, blue skies surrounded us.

Our opening match was against Babbacombe Bowls Club. An unpredictable green gave the home team an advantage, winning the match 106 - 54. Our only success came from Shirley and Terry.

Wednesday was a rest day for the tourists, giving them the opportunity to visit Brixham or Babbacombe Model Village. Time was taken for a competitive round of Crazy Golf. We held our own Indoor Long Mat Competition with Cathy, Carol and Ted winning the Glass Bowl.

The next match was at Teignmouth Bowls Club. We were given a warm welcome at The Den. A close match with the hosts winning by 116 - 107. However, Sherfield won 4 and drew 1 of the 7 rinks.

Our final match was at Yeovil Bowls Club on the journey home. Again, a closely fought match, Yeovil winning 80 - 67. Congratulations to Colin, Geoff, Janice and Jenny H winning their match 18 -14.

Many thanks to Jenny H for organising the tour. It was definitely a trip where the results didn’t really matter!
