Brixham St Mary’s has a varied social programme that continues through the winter. It helps keep people in touch as well as providing a social aspect to their bowling. Once a week in summer we have a social roll up evening which, once a month, is followed by a fish and chip supper.
In the middle of October we start the Club’s own skittles league. On Friday evenings the Clubhouse is transformed into a skittle alley. Anyone can come along for a game and a drink and the best player is awarded a cup at the end of winter.
We also have monthly socials to which everyone is invited and these usually involve food and a fun activity. The Christmas party is a popular event with various competitions to round off the year.
NEW YEAR PARTY 2026
For those who missed our New Year Party on Saturday 10th January you missed a really great night!
Those who braved the cold were ably entertained by our own Richie Luther, who in true Bruce Forsyth style brought us ‘Play your Cards Right’. Cries of ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ echoed around St Mary’s Park as members competed for a selection of prizes.
We had our regular raffle, dined on mince pies and apple tarts, and music was provided as usual by Fozzie.
Thanks to everyone who attended – the proceeds will help to swell our fund for our 85th Anniversary celebration later in the year.
HALLOWEEN PARTY 2025
Every year we have a Halloween Party and this year was no exception. Everyone got into the spirit (pun!) and dressed up as ghouls, vampires, witches and other assorted nasties. (See our ‘Ghouls Gallery’ below) Fozzie provided the music and a music bingo, and our coven of ladies provided an excellent chilli and baked potato. A great time was had by all
LADIES V GENTS 2025
As is tradition, the last day of the bowling season is the annual Ladies v Gents match.
This year the theme was Hawaii, with players dressed in suitable costume and a background of Hawaiian music.
The weather was sunny and warm and the green was in excellent condition.
Despite the friendly banter it was a hard fought game, but after protests and recounts the match (as usual) was declared a draw!!!
On Saturday 19th July we held a fund raising social with an Abba/Mamma Mia theme.
Many members got into the spirit of the event, dressing up in various flamboyant costumes.
A few entertaining party games were led by new member Richie Luther. The raffle must have been one of our biggest to date and music as always provided by our resident DJ Steve ‘Fozzie’ Fosdike.
Everyone had a grand time, with around £300 raised at the event for this year’s Captains charity – Childrens Hospice South West.
Well done, everyone!
Our VE Day celebration on Saturday 10th May 2025 was a great success.
Many members got into the spirit of the occasion, dressing up in varying 40’s costumes.
An assortment of games on the bowling green (aiming at goal, cricket, one-legged and wrong hand bowling etc) were followed by a cream tea, a 40’s quiz and 40’s music bingo.
Everyone had a grand time, with money raised for this year’s Captains charity – Childrens Hospice South West.
Saturday 15th February 2025 was our annual Valentine’s Party. Music was ably provided by Drew Millom and a great time was had by all
