The club is open all year round, but its bowls programme is reduced during the summer months as many individuals play for outdoor clubs. However, during this time there is ample rink space available, making it an ideal opportunity to try indoor bowling and get more involved in Winter, which commences in October. Winter offers a full schedule of top-quality bowls, with the privilege of having County and National players with National and Commonwealth titles.

Indoor bowling is a highly social game that provides an opportunity for individuals of all backgrounds to connect. It is a sport that allows ladies to play on equal terms with men, and individuals with disabilities to compete alongside their more athletic counterparts. The club is proud of its friendly atmosphere and actively encourages every member to develop their bowling skills by participating in friendly matches against other bowling clubs in Devon.

Opportunities exist for members to play against touring sides and participate in internal open leagues, with combinations of men and ladies. The club also offers free taster sessions for those who are interested in taking up a new challenge. Coaching is available by qualified coaches or experienced players within the club, who are eager to help all bowlers improve their techniques.

Established in October 1994, the club features four rinks laid by Greengage, with an average running speed of approximately 17 seconds. The club is conveniently located below the Torquay United Football Club stands and is easily accessible from all main roads.
