The Artisan’s 2-4-2 Mixed Pairs competition on Friday last week was won by Hugh Barr and Rowena Muir. Other prizes went to Dave and Margie Garrard, Richard Lister and Pat Bennet, Jean and John Pluke, John Pattrick and Nina Guest. Thanks to Artisans, Valverite and Wedgewood for their sponsorship.Saturday saw us in great spirits playing for super prizes in Bill’s Christmas Bash. Despite threatening weather we fitted in 20 complete ends before going in to a splendid lunch. We are most grateful to Bill Lambert for spoiling us each year with this wonderful highlight. Thanks too to Una Watson and Margaret Lake for setting up the club house and supervising the lunch arrangements and to Bhoyi, who worked very hard to keep things spick and span.
Every person who played in the competition received a prize. Overall winners this year were Derick Hull, Colin Watson, Dave Hammond and Basil Fann who each took home a very generous Christmas hamper. The winning team will be presented with the Bill’s Bash Christmas Shield at the AGM in February.
Planned events to the end of the year include a Chicken Run (19th) and the Terrace Trips on 24th.
The club will be open for normal tabs-in competitions over the holidays. Visitors are welcome to join us on Tuesday and Thursday in smart casual dress and Saturday afternoons in whites.
This will be our last news report for this year. Best wishes to all of our members and supporters for rest and peace over the holidays.
