The green had to be closed on Tuesday after steady drizzle through much of the morning had made it unplayable. Wednesday was brighter and the Jaxx Roll went ahead as planned. Two people deserve special mention for their actions with regard to this event. Firstly thanks to Fred Palmer who took over the organization in the absence of John Pattrick who usually arranges the competition. Fred's one big problem was resolved by Peter Freer of Howick who, having been called at eight o'clock in the morning raised a full team and got them to Hilton in time to ensure a balanced field. Thanks for your support, Peter.
Winners of the Jaxx Roll were Brian Ravno, Bill Ralphs and Burnice Shaw. Winners of the Losers were Heather Hancock, Ian Fyvie and Tim Bigg. The morning's hero, Peter Freer with team members Vic Powell and Mo Bradley won prizes in a lucky draw. Thanks to Jaxx Restaurant and Dulcѐ's for their sponsorship.
The Quarry Spar Chicken Run on Saturday was won by Neil Tainton, Basil Fann and Pat Bennet who all played some top class bowls. Many thanks to Quarry Spar for the prizes..
