The Social Club opened off as a small building on the 28th August 1978 by Mr Frank O'Farrell. The building was then extended by building new changing rooms outside and using the existing changing rooms to extend the clubhouse. Due to increasing demand another extension was built. It was originally a function room, committee room and children's play room upstairs with two snooker rooms downstairs. Later on this changed and one of the snooker tables was sold and the other table was brought upstairs to replace the children's play room. The two rooms downstairs were then used for storage. In August 2006, the committee were approached to lease the rooms downstairs. In September 2007 Little Ducklings Nursery finally opened.

The clubhouse is now celebrating its 30 year anniversary this year. It is now run by a very hard working and enthusiastic committee.

We have a large bar area, with a range of draught beers, bottled drinks, soft drinks and wines run by trained and professional bar staff.

We also have a large function room available for private functions, which also plays host to the committees entertainment consisting of, disco's, theme night's, karaoke's and live music. We also have a full size snooker table and skittle alley, pool table, dart boards, fruit machine, juke box and a large projector and screen in the bar area.

The Skittle Alley was officially opened on Boxing Day 1983 by Mr Carl Throgmorton, which is now used to house a successful in-house skittles league with 7 teams. We also have darts teams in the Mid Devon Darts League, the Newton Abbot & District Ladies Darts League and have a record four teams in the Buckfastleigh Town Darts League.

We have a community feel with members from the local area, however new members are always welcome, as are guests as temporary members. We have a strong base of life members and annual members and the committee would like to thanks them for their continued support.
