It wasn’t only The Farnborough Airshow that got abandoned on Monday.
The bowls club was subjected to a torrent of rain. Unbelievably this game continued 30 minutes after the rain stopped.

Memorial Trophy
A great day of bowling in beautiful weather. Faultlessly organised by Martin as usual. Along the way we had a few spot prices: Arthur won the spider competition at the beginning of the day. Pam won the 1st toucher of the day.
A great buffet lunch was served, all of the members preparing some excellent food. During the lunch break we had a corner to corner competition, Alec set the early target which was beaten by Cindy but Martin stole it at the end.
Andy won the 1st toucher after lunch and after 5 games of 3 wood pairs the finalist were Andy Barrington and Keith Brown v Geoff Chadd and Pam Page. The final was all square going into the last end when Geoff and Pam got the shot to take the game and win. The trophy was presented by Councillor John Wall and Laura Wansell (Instigator of the trophy)
Before the final we auction the cake, donated by Andy, which went for £12 bring the total collected for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance to £180, Well done all.

A Big Thank You(again)
Thank you to the person who found my Rayban sunglasses and put them on the tray in the clubhouse.Was bowling at Underwood this afternoon and went to put them on only to find an empty case,called in at the clubhouse on the way home in the vain hope they would be there and again was rewarded with someone’s care and honesty in finding them and placing them on the tray.If you can email me(whoever you are)I can then thank you personally,good job I had the white cap in my bag.We lost on the last end by the way(but not blaming that on the sun in my eyes)
