TOTLAND BAY BOWLING CLUB

TBBC

TBBC has been in its present location for more than a hundred years. The President is Ted Nelson.

In addition to league and friendly games, we have club and tourist competitions. Coaching is available to members, along with a Coaching Academy membership option for those who want to Try Bowls.

Our membership year spans from 1 January to 31 December and we welcome members and visitors on our green from the beginning of May until the end of September. We also offer a variety of non-bowling social activities including cribbage, skittles, tai chi, quiz & film nights and Thursday Club nights during the non-playing season.

CLUB HISTORY

The accounting records indicate that TBBC was formed on 15 February 1908 when the Club received the sum of £18.14 with donors including Lord Tennyson. In 1908, a committee was formed over a membership of 33 men. That same year, a sports ground 'at the back of the Coastguard Houses' was formally opened by Col Alexander Leith, the Island Conservative and Unionist Candidate.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

With a strong social facet to the club, we are always looking to attract new members. We offer out of season activities, such as Tai chi, cribbage, skittles (and other pub games), quiz & movie nights, and raffles. We host coffee mornings on the 2nd Tuesday of the month and are even looking to start gentle yoga classes! We get together for holiday lunches and dinners and have a full bar in the clubhouse.

OPEN DAYS

We will be holding public open days in May 2026! If you want to give Bowls a go, come by the Club on

17th May and 31st May

Bowls and tuition will be provided.

BOWLING ACADEMY

Our Bowling Academy is a great introduction to the sport without the financial commitment. A single payment of £10 will put you in touch with our head coach, who will organise coaching sessions that will see you increasingly integrate you into the TBBC as your play progresses.

You will also meet others in the Academy, as well as have the opportunity to meet for a round (or two) of drinks in our club pub to socialise afterward.

Many of our Academy players have progressed to become integral members of the TBBC.
