Dawlish Indoor Bowls Club

Unlike outdoor bowls which can trace its origins back to Elizabethan times, indoor bowling is a relatively recent sport which started around the 1930s.

Prior to the opening of the indoor club at Dawlish, the nearest facility was at the old Carlton Theatre in Teignmouth (now the Pavilions). In the winter, the carpet, which was stored under the stage was rolled out and players would use this.
