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

DSC00214The 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

Another great presentation evening at the Farnham Golf Club.  A lovely meal and lots of trophies to award for all of the competition winners.  It was nice that several new bowlers picked up a few, particularly Chris Henderson and Anthony LaFrenais.

The highlight was the awarding off a new trophy for the most improved player going to Joan Moorcroft, see comment below

I was overwhelmed to receive the lovely new trophy in memory of Adrian Hill for “ The Most Improved Player”
I would like to share with you all the inscription on the trophy, which reads.
Adrian Hill – Remember with a smile.

Kind regards

Friday 12th September. k Now there's a story.
Vicky, our President, laid on an evening of entertainment. A magician had been booked and went round the tables doing close-up magic while we ate our delicious cheese, bread and biscuit.

j Alec glad to get his £20 note back.After the food the magician provide a short show, the highlight was retrieving Alec’s £20 note from inside a walnut.

Much laughter was had in naming the Racoon, well done Alec for such an imaginative name.

The draw of 15 pairs was made and bowling proceeded with 3 leagues of 5 pairs.

After some tightly fought games the 4 semi-finalists were decided

  • Chris & Judy
  • Geoff & Joan
  • Keith & Edna
  • Bob & Mick

The semi-finals saw some close bowling, eventually Chris & Judy beat Geoff & Joan 7-4 and Keith and Edna beat Bob & Mick(Honorary “Sheila”) 7-5.

The final saw some superb bowling by all four bowlers, eventually Keith & Edna coming out on top 7-5. Photos of the day
