During the winter season Bovey has been active indoors with weekly roll-ups at Torquay United Indoor Club on Friday afternoons. They have been grateful too, to receive invitations from other local clubs who enjoy the benefit of indoor facilities and have so far visited Madeira Club, Exmouth, where they lost overall, and Dawlish IBC, where they drew. They have also been invited to provide opposition for guest clubs enjoying bowls breaks at the Derwent Hotel, Torquay.

A programme of various non-bowls events is ongoing throughout the winter including coffee mornings, pub games night, ladies' lunch, bingo night with fish and chips and race day at Exeter racecourse. An updated report will be published in the spring as the summer season approaches.
