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.

Bowls Hampshire Tour of Jersey

The Farnborough Bowling Club bowler on the Bowls Hampshire tour of Jersey.

During the week we played 6 games against. Jersey Bowls Club, Les Creux, Sun Bowls Club, St. Saviour, St. Brelade and a select team at Les Creux.

We were given a real friendly and warm welcome at all of the bowls clubs and played some good games, including the first team to play on the new artificial surface at Les Creux. We also enjoyed ourselves away from the greens and raised some money for the Presidents’ charities Help4Heroes and Visually Impaired Bowls England.

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.
