Farnborough had a narrow win against Seale & Sands last night in the Goolding Cup (2 x Rinks). The home team winning by 13 shots and the away team losing by 10 shots (A great turnaround after being 19-1 down). Well done everyone.
We play Farnham in the next round on Friday 20th July

Both sides won in last night Goolding Cup against Pyestock to go through to the next round. The home team won by 4 shots and the away team won by a convincing 26. Well done Farnborough.
The Club 2 Wood Pairs is an entered pairs competition open to all playing members. An entry sheet is pinned up in the clubhouse. The competition has a limited number of entries so organise your pairs and put your name down soon.
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.
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
