A Happy New year to all our members and to all who read this column. On Friday we launched the IF Sponsored Trips competitions. Twelve teams took part. The games were organised as three skins of seven ends, the same teams matched throughout the morning. Winners were Tom Hartley, Peter Bailie and Lorna Allen. The second team consisted of Chris Lake, Graham Appleby and Arthur Daugherty. David Mason and Lloyd Rowlands from the sponsors, Investment Facilitators, presented the winners with packs of meat. Joan Byrom won a meat pack on a lucky draw.
Joan, Olga Hutt and Margie Meek scored a nine during the morning. Well done to all the victors and very sincere thanks to IF for their support.
Saturday saw another full field of thirty-six players, including new bowlers Nina and Mike Guest, competing in the Quarry Spar Chicken Run. This time Thelma Mylne, Des Morrish and Richard Lister collected a full house! Winners of the chickens were John Pattrick, Pamela Morrish and Brian Newton. Thanks to Quarry Spar for donating the prizes.
