CONGRATULATIONS to Joy and Eileen who are runners up in the County Over 70 pairs competition.

Opening of the Green, Saturday 12th April 2025
The first bowl of the afternoon was delivered by member and former Captain Brian Waitman. Vice president Rose Howard and Captain Kate Kennedy welcomed everyone to the club before all members rolled one bowl in the Spider competition.
A game of bowls was played before we all tucked in to a delicious buffet provided by the members.
We were very fortunate with the weather which had threatened rain. It was a great afternoon, the green looked good, the banter was flowing and the green looked and played really well.
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!
