Our very own Ken Howard who today received an Order of Merit from Bowls Devon in recognition of all his dedicated service to the game of bowls here at Newton Abbot. His service has included Captaincy, Green Keeper and now Green Manager. All of these roles he has completed with humility and good humour. Thanks Ken from all of us at Newton Abbot Bowling Club, a well deserved award.
Some of our lovely ladies celebrating being runners up in Division 1 of the South Devon League, 2024. Congratulations!
Our men's A team (with a little help from some B team gents) who won the MDL Premier league this year (2024) - the first time since 1985! A great achievement, well done!
Many CONGRATULATIONS to 2 of our members -
Mandy Holtby and Shaun Lynch - who have got married :)
Many congratulations to our club President Julia Barnes who today was presented with a certificate recognising her 75 appearances for the Devon County ladies Johns Trophy team - what an amazing achievement
We made the news!
This photo recently appeared in the Mid Devon Advertiser along with a report on how these two ladies have again made it into the Ladies Johns team, playing for Devon against other counties. Their first match was against Warwickshire - Devon ladies won by 9 shots.
Congrats also to Shaun and Will who are in the mens County team - Middleton cup. Despite losing their first match, there are further rounds to win.
Both Isobel and Julia have succeeded in winning the section 5 rounds in 2-wood singles. Isobel has also made it through to the last 16 for Devon in the 4-wood singles.
Julia and Isobel are joined by club mates Joy and Eileen in the final 16 of the County rinks competition - well done!
Sone of your men are also involved in other County competitions - details to follow. Well done to all.
Opening of the Green - Saturday 13th April
A lovely afternoon of bowls and banter!! All 6 rinks were buzzing with chat and laughter as we officially opened our green. Long serving member, Alan Mann, had the task of delivering the first wood after Vice-President Rose welcomed everyone. We played 10 ends to give everyone a chance to 'get their arm in' before enjoying a delicious shared tea. It was a great way to start the season!
