Penlee Short Mat Bowls Club was established in
the Millenium year 2000 with a single mat in the clubhouse and
first entered the short mat evening league in 2001 with one
team. The short mat 'A' Team enjoyed considerable
success during the first ten years; promoted to the Premier
Division, winner of the "Rae Francis" county competition two
years in succession, in 2009 and 2010, and a
number of Penlee players represented the County. The clubhouse
was extended during 2015 and today we have two mats and can
accommodate a third if necessary. We now have seven teams
playing in evening and afternoon leagues.
On the social side, since 2005 there has been an annual tour,
when a number of members go away for a long weekend, to venues
such as Bristol, Barnstaple and Torquay, staying in hotel
accommodation and playing friendly matches against local short
mat bowling clubs. There are also regular 'roll ups' during
the season when members are encouraged to come along for a
game of bowls a cuppa and a chat. New members are always
welcome, experienced short mat bowlers and absolute beginners
alike.
