We have had a very busy week. Chris Purchase, Mike Guest, Shelagh Bowness, John Pattrick, Basil Fann and Pat Bennet all won chickens at tabs-in on Tuesday. Some of these prizes had been carried over from rain- disrupted competitions. Thanks, as ever, to Quarry Super Spar for their donations. Also on Tuesday we had another top-class match in the mixed drawn pairs with Thelma Mylne and Fred Palmer losing the semi-final to Jean Pluke and Andy Hitchcock in the very last end. Our congratulations to Jean and Andy who went on to win the Cecil Ford Trophy.On Thursday we had a full entry for the Terrace Trips. Winners of generous vouchers were Fred Palmer, John Bayley and Henry Aucock. Well done chaps and thanks to The Terrace for their support.
Despite a wet start the Christmas Cup competition on Saturday went off smoothly. Winners of the trophy and vouchers from Quarry Super Spar were Jean Pluke, Shelagh Bowness and Arthur Daugherty. In second place were George Oldham, Des Morrish and Mike Guest. Winners of the losers were Chris Lake, Nina Guest and Etzel Nuss.
After the prize giving we all sat down to a wholesome lunch provided by Spar who continue to be wonderfully supportive.
On Sunday we hosted a visit from members of the Church of the Ascension as part of our Bowls Development initiative. About fifty people came along to enjoy some fun time together and to have a taste of the game we love. Several of the visitors indicated an interest in being coached.
