Touring sides are most welcome and we can promise you a great reception, a first class bowling green, a friendly but competitive game, followed by drinks from our well stocked bar.
Our club (established in 1913) is situated on Furzeham Green overlooking Torbay and a short stroll to Brixham's Town Centre and famous fishing port. Click here for a map to find us.
We currently have 47 lady playing members and 48 men players.
New members are always welcome and we offer free coaching.
Membership renewal is £90 for 2021 (£45 for those who paid full membership for 2020).
Membership is £20 for the first year to new novice members (to offset the expense of buying shoes and other items) which includes a £10 affiliation charge.
