A lovely dry day for Sunday’s Memorial Shield. The charity this year was Phyllis Tuckwell and we have raised in access of £160 so far.
The competition was run in 2 sections with Bob and Martin winning one and Steve, Jo and Brian the other.
The final was played in lovely sunshine with Bob and Martin the winners.
Another big thanks to the generosity of our members and other supporters.
This event is unique to Farnborough – it is fun – the organiser (Arthur and his helpers Edith and Pam) requested that there was a lot of noise, booing and hissing –there certainly was but most of it was directed at Arthur who did nothing to provoke it!
We had three rounds so everyone had three chances of getting into the semi-final, those who managed it were Jack, Graham, Martin, Mick, Andrew, Barbara, Pam L, Simon, Sheila, Chris W, Stuart, Rachel.
The finalists were Pam Laken, Stuart Markham, Martin Lee and Andrew Milligan.
It was won by Stuart Markham – he has won it before and it is about time someone stopped him doing it.
Lovely afternoon – thank you to the 28 people that took part and made it FUN and noisy.
Coaching begins Saturday 28th April 10am. So if you are interested go to More info and request form and book a session with a coach
Today we presented Alec Sharman with a Honorary Members Certificate.
Alec has been a member since 1984. In 2010 he achieved his coaching certificate to be the first qualified coach at the club. Membership was declining but Alec’s enthusiasm for coaching and attracting new members has stopped the decline and seen the club build up a healthy membership.
In 2011 Alec was the Club President and was instrumental in getting coloured club shirts introduced. In 2015 he became president of Farnham & District Bowling Association.
We thank Alec for all of the work – and many hours of coaching – he has done for the club.
