Farnham & District Finals

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Alec Sharman

Congratulations to all our members who took part in yesterdays Farnham & Distract finals held at our club. We were in four finals, three of which we won!

We beat Odiham in the Ken Britten Cup. The photo of the squad Geoff Ringrose, Edna Lakeman, Harrison Ash, Mick Moorcroft, Anne Hellier and Andy Barrington is opposite.

We beat Aldershot Underwood in the F&D Mixed Triples and

Sheila and Diane beat a pair from Bourne to win the ladies pairs. Sheila also was runner up in the ladies singles.

I am not sure but it must be one the most successful days in the club history, certainly it will go down as a day all those who took part will never forget. The amount of spectators was tremendous. I have to say it gave me great pleasure and pride watching our players represent our club so successfully.

Also, a big thanks you for those who helped on the day, some being at the club at 8am to get things ready and not leaving until 8pm. I had many visiting players say what a great job Farnborough BC had done to host the finals and the manner it was run and friendliness of our members. All in all it was a good day, one of our best. Well done all.

Alec.

Nell Rumble Trophy

Posted on August 24, 2015 by Martin

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.

F&D President’s Day

Posted on August 24, 2015 by Alec Sharman

A great turnout for Alec's Farnham &District President's Day on Saturday 22nd September.

The weather was perfect, the bowls was fun, the cream tea was superb and to cap it all a Geoff's rink won the Presidents Shield. we have had very positive feedback from our visitors, all saying what a lovely day it was and how hard our club members worked to make it such a pleasant experience.

Well done all those who helped, we sure know how to host a game. Ohh, and we raised £300 for Cancer Research and Phyllis Tuckwell to boot. Top stuff. Alec

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)
