We held our yearly Memorial Day on 4th May and the force really was with our ‘Star’ players as they went to ‘War’ and had a very friendly battle for the shield.

The two league winners were both worthy finalists having won all their league games.

Well done to Alan Elliott and Michael Andrews who finished as runners-up and congratulations to Alison Wrigley, Chrissie Cook and Simon Webb for being our champions this year.

Many thanks also go to all our members who supported the day and raised £145 for the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.

Nell Rumble Trophy

20150823_175047

This year’s Nell Rumble saw the highest entry since 2002 with 11 teams.

Each team was randomly allocated a team name with the defending champions ironically drawing the ‘C Team’ with the name ‘Champions’.

After a sunny start and then a very wet couple of matches we all enjoyed the usual super buffet that is always a highlight of this competition. We then resumed play in dry sunny conditions for the remainder of the day.

The final proved to be a very worthy finale to the day with last year’s runners-up (Bob and Judy Savory and Geoff Chadd) winning on the very last bowl against the ladies trio of Christine Lee, Diane Hill and Sheila Andrews.

Thanks go to everyone who took part, those who organised the buffet and to everyone who helped set up the rinks and make the day the usual success.
