FINALS DAY - PART 2 report by Diane Lomas

Hi everyone

Another wonderful day of bowling for the spectators!

This morning Karen Hollingdale and Sue Derbyshire played the Ladies 101 match. Thank you to Morris Arnold for making a sturdy scoring mat😀👏👏 It was a very long session with Karen finally winning. Sue was so glad to get her pint after the match!🍺 Thank you Jill for marking.

After the lunch break, where we all tucked in to savouries and wonderful cakes, came the afternoon session with John Egan and Bruce Mount giving us a masterclass in bowls. Fantastic to watch. Very close but John just edged ahead to become Singles Champion. Congratulations to all of you.

Thank you again to everyone who came by along to support and to those who helped with food, catering and clearing up.

It was a wonderful occasion.

Please remember that next Saturday 10th is our Fun Day. The Golden Sausage competition will go ahead 😂 and there will be some other fun games to keep everyone amused. Please bring family and friends.

Are you a Knowledge King or Queen Quizzer?

Bowls & Rolls - match report

🎉The Inaugural Bowls and Rolls Evening was held last Friday night.🎉 

This was Steve Timcke’s idea and he’s purchased an appropriate trophy 

The Golden Sausage!! 😂🤣 

Those who wished to participate had their names put in a hat and partners were allocated. 

We then played a Round Robin of pairs matches scored using the 101 scoring system (that is 4 points for the bowl nearest the jack, then 3, 2 and1) but the winners were the first to 21 instead of 101. 

Alec and I ended up being the strongest as we were at the bottom of the league holding everyone else up!!  😂💪 

We played 3 and lost 3 😩 but had great fun.

Bob and Morris came out victorious this time so congratulations to them!! 🎉🎉 They won a free drink from the bar! 🍺🍺 

😀👏👏👏Thank you to Maria and the Committee for the burgers and sausages and 

Sue Derbyshire for her wonderful strawberry cream cake. 🍰 Delicious! 😀👏👏👏

With several games going on at the same time it was busy but fun and those ‘resting’ offered much advice and encouragement from the verandah that got more raucous as the session went on! 😂🍺🥂🍷

Thanks to Dan who somehow kept the scores and draws! 

Hope you will join us for future Bowls and Rolls and we can eventually decide who become the guardians of the trophy. 😀👏👏👏
