We had super weather today for our Two Wood Pairs competition.
This is played in a sets format, making it different from all of our other club competitions.
After some great bowling, including a nail-biting semi-final, it all came down to this year’s finalists to battle it out for the shield.
The runners-up were Pam Laken and Brian Brain
Our new champions being Graham Thomas and Mick Browne.
Well done to everyone and thank you for your support.
Some photos, from Saturday’s President’s day. A lot of fun playing BOWLF, see notes from Sheila.
A big thanks to Graeme, Terry and Martin for organising such a great day of fun, bowls and food.

This year’s Drawn Triples Costar Trophy was held between 8 teams playing in two leagues. The final had a close finish and was won 7-4 by Steve Alford, Barbara Ford and Martin Lee. The worthy runners-up were Phil O’Brien, Tim Wing and Simon Webb.
A great day was had by all; perfect weather, great atmosphere, super bowling and a first class green.
A special mention of thanks for Mike Kernahan who came early and set up all the rinks and then volunteered to drop out when the final numbers were awkward. Thank you also to everyone else who supported the competition and helped make it another success for the club.
Yesterday was our Memorial Shield. This was the 10th year the competition has been run. It was set up by David and Laura Wansell to remember past bowlers and raise money for charity. Sadly David passed away shortly after setting this up at far too young an age.
Over the 10 years we have raised over £2,000 for various charities. This year it was Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care.
As for the bowling; there were two sections, with Simon, Mike and Tony winning one and Wendy, David and Michael winning the other. The weather just about stayed dry for the final which was won by Wendy, David and Michael who have decided that the charity for next year’s game will be Phyllis Tuckwell again.
Winners Michael, Wendy and David
