## **BRIXHAM BOWLING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2025** Brixham Bowling Club was founded in 1913 and was registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in December 2021. Consequently, this is our fourth annual report for the Commission and the Financial Summary of the audited accounts for the year ending 30[th] September 2025 are attached. As stated in our governing document the primary object of the Club is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Torbay and the South Devon area by the provision of facilities for playing bowls. The Club shall be affiliated to Bowls England & Bowls Devon. It shall adopt and conform to Bowls England Rules & Regulations and the current Laws of the Sport of Bowls. The Club is committed to promoting a safe environment in which children and vulnerable adults can enjoy taking part in games of bowls. We organised a very successful ‘try it’ day at the beginning of the new season when people of all ages were encouraged to come along and have a go at the sport with the aid and encouragement of more experienced players. A large and varied group of people enjoyed the event, 17 of whom joined us as novice members over the following few weeks. We provide support to people who wish to become members, particularly those who have never played the game before. For those new to the sport, we offer a reduced subscription and free coaching. All new members are encouraged to take part in friendly games both between our own members and against local and touring sides. During the 2025 season, in addition to our weekly Club evenings, we organised 18 friendly matches, and 35 of our members took part in a five-day tour to Portsmouth. We have also enjoyed another successful season of internal club competitions. There were four mixed one day club tournaments, three ladies one day competitions, five competitions for men and five competitions for ladies, with one mixed singles. In total there were 167 entries in those ten competitions playing for 35 trophies. As their confidence, and skill increases, all members can participate in league matches of varying degrees of skill level and competitiveness. During 2025 we entered teams in the Riviera Mixed Triples League (organised specifically for developing players), the Men’s Over ‘55s’ League (two teams), the Men’s Mid Devon League and increased the number of teams in the Ladies South Devon League to three. Each year the Men’s and Ladies Captains sponsor a charity and this year over £1300 was raised for the Torbay RNLI. At the end of the season, we had 97 playing members, with a further 15 Associate members, and we look forward to an excellent season in 2026. BRIXHAM BOWLING CLUB Accoufrirs.
