Local Green Space Designation

North Tawton Bowling Club has been designated a Local Green Space in the North Tawton Neighbourhood Plan for its recreational value to the community and its historic significance (http://www.northtawtonneighbourhoodplan.co.uk/  pages 20-21).

The designation of land as Local Green Space through neighbourhood plans allows communities to identify and protect green areas of particular importance to them. 

 

 

The 2024 Season opened at North Tawton Bowling Club Saturday 20th April

IT was a lovely sunny day for the opening of the green at North Tawton Bowling Club, the first wood laid by President Gordon Denham.

After the official opening members held a spider, which was won by Paul Reed.

Chairman John Kinsey explained that the season was going to be a busy one with play taking place a few evenings each week.

He said that up to 10 league games take place each week with men’s, ladies, shield, league and over 60’s competitions.

He explained that anyone wishing to try bowling for the first time or returning to bowling would be welcomed to attend on a Monday evening from 6pm.

In addition, he added that an Open Day would be held at the Club between 11am and 3pm on Sunday, May 12 for anyone to attend to “come and try bowling”, adding that snacks would be available and the bar would be open.

He thanked the greenskeeper Dave Cooper and volunteers who had put in many hours of work to maintain the green and to take it to a high standard.

New Club Captain for the year is John Beer with Jan Summers as Ladies Captain.

Anita Lamey is Secretary with Robert Arscott as Treasurer.

The Club, established as a flat green bowling club in 1955, is located in North Street, North Tawton.

Anyone not able to attend the Open Day can arrange a Monday evening introductory session by contacting John on 07707 807136
