Brixham Bowling Club was formed by a handful of local fishermen and businessmen in 1913, with a four rink green and a clubhouse, constructed by the members in liaison with the District Council on Furzeham Green adjacent to Nelson Road, Brixham. The green was opened on 3rd June 1913 and membership at the time was all men. In 1952 the ladies formed their own section.
As the club completed its first century, it could look back with pride at its achievements.
- It has continuously increased and replenished its membership – in both the men’s and ladies sections.
- The original clubhouse was replaced and later doubled in size.
- Later still a bar extension was added.
- The green which is mainained by the members is regarded as one of the best in the area.
- Through its competitive drive the Club has produced some excellent bowling members – some to County and National level.
