Bell Ringing Photos from 15th December 2012

A great afternoon of Ploughman, Christmas cake and mince pies, followed by the Bishop’s Bells bell ringing troupe performing some Christmasy tunes on their hand bells. Some members braved having a go on the bells, although they performed well it wasn’t a patch on the Bishop’s bells.

A lot of hard work must have gone into arranging the day so a very big thanks to all those who made the event such a great success.

Roy on his new seat

Farnborough Bowling Club took delivery of a new seat donated by Roy Jordan in memory of his wife Mary. Thanks to John Lakeman for the photo.

Keith Dunstone and Barry Lee used their DIY skills to good use to make room for it and secure it in position.

Visitors have commented on what a nice, comfortable  seat it is.  I am sure the club, and Roy, will get years of pleasure from it.  A big thanks to Roy.

Two murders at Bowling Club

On Saturday 11th February two murders were committed at Farnborough Bowling Club.

The Restaurant Staff were busy welcoming diners for a fully booked evening at Baldini’s Restaurant, when, even before the starter had been served Manuel, the chef, who was in the kitchen was fatally stabbed.

Very soon Inspector Cluelessi arrived and started ‘his’ investigations.

Not deterred the main course was served, food eaten and drinks drunk, and low and behold a second murder was committed right in front of the diners.

Inspector Cluelessi enlisted the help of the diners to solve the crime and identify the murderer or murderers.

It was a good job Inspector Cluelessi was better at ‘his’ job than his appearance suggested as he identified a motive and the murderer, assisted by the diners.

Nadia Addario, one of the waitresses, was arrested.  It  was discovered that she was an undercover police operative who had been obtaining information on the Mafia through Luigi Savini, the Maitre D’.

We hope to hear Nadia’s story very soon.

Thanks go to all of the cast, from left to right.
