Local Green Space Designation
North Tawton Bowling Club has been designated a Local Green Space in the North Tawton Neighbourhood Plan for its recreational value to the community and its historic significance (http://www.northtawtonneighbourhoodplan.co.uk/ pages 20-21).
The designation of land as Local Green Space through neighbourhood plans allows communities to identify and protect green areas of particular importance to them.
The 2024 Season opened at North Tawton Bowling Club Saturday 20th April
IT was a lovely sunny day for the opening of the green at North Tawton Bowling Club, the first wood laid by President Gordon Denham.
After the official opening members held a spider, which was won by Paul Reed.
Chairman John Kinsey explained that the season was going to be a busy one with play taking place a few evenings each week.
He thanked the greenskeeper Dave Cooper and volunteers who had put in many hours of work to maintain the green and to take it to a high standard.
The Club, established as a flat green bowling club in 1955, is located in North Street, North Tawton.
Anyone not able to attend the Open Day can arrange a Monday evening introductory session by contacting John on 07707 807136
