The weather was great, twenty two people turned up – some of them bowling for the first time, five challenges were set up, the fun began.

The Jack in the Box turned out to be a bit difficult but all challenges were attempted with gusto, laughter and not taken too seriously.

After much arithmetic from Michael the final adjusted scores were announced: Third was Alec Sharman, second Geoff Ringrose and just two points ahead David Jennings the winner.

Many thanks to all who took part and entered into the spirit and making the afternoon such a success.

New bowlers Ian Beech and Andy Barrington skipped by Geoff Ringrose won Sunday’s Nell Rumble Shield (Two Wood Triples).
The qualifying was played in two leagues with the winners of each league meeting in the final. Against Geoff Ringrose’s Triple was Judy Savory, Bob Savory and Geoff Chadd.  Geoff Ringrose and the two rookies won the first end and remained in front all game helped by good bowling from the whole team
