After a washed out game v Bowls Hampshire to celebrate the Club’s 75th Birthday on the 17th August we had a much better celebration afternoon on the Sunday with a full house competing in a spoon drive followed by a buffet tea.

The lost trophy was found just in time and bowling commenced on a very hot Sunday.
A straightforward round robin this year with 6 triples entered.
After a lot of suntan lotion, water and the odd beer or two the winners were decided which were. Jack, Rachel and Stuart.
On Sunday the 2 Wood pairs game was played in gorgeous weather. The competition is a knockout played as 3 sets making it a bit difference.
After the initial round the winning pairs competed for the shield and the others for the Plate.
After some good matches the eventual winners were Jack and Stuart Markham who beat Rachel and Michael in the final.
The winners of the plate was Edith and Barbara who beat Alan and Brian. Barbara said “She is going to treasure her plate for life”
There was cheering, booing, clapping, and bantering with lots of false commiserations. A lot of fun, I hope.
The purpose of the game was to eliminate the opposition and there certainly seemed to be the feeling that was exactly what the players wanted to do.
24 took part, only one survived: Jack Markham – our congratulations go to him.
Thank you to Edith, Carol and Mick Browne who made sure this would happen and thanks go to everyone for staying until the end and help clear up.

A new format for Sunday’s fun afternoon, Jack Attack. 6 Teams competing for a place in the final which was eventually won by Tim, Andrew and Michael, pictured here with Alan who, with the help of Chrissie, put on an excellent well organised day. Thank you.

Despite a wet day forecast the weather was kind to us and remained dry for the Frank Costar Trophy played on Sunday 5th June. This year there were 5 triples of bowler drawn for teams.
The winners were Mike Kernahan, Michael Andrews and Dave Mitchell. Well done and thanks to Martin for organising the day.
