Alec Sharman – Honorary Member

DSC08190Today we presented Alec Sharman with a Honorary Members Certificate.

Alec has been a member since 1984. In 2010 he achieved his coaching certificate to be the first qualified coach at the club. Membership was declining but Alec’s enthusiasm for coaching and attracting new members has stopped the decline and seen the club build up a healthy membership.

In 2011 Alec was the Club President and was instrumental in getting coloured club shirts introduced. In 2015 he became president of Farnham & District Bowling Association.

We thank Alec for all of the work – and many hours of coaching – he has done for the club.

The Inaugural Christine Lee Cup

As a mark of honour to Christine Lee who very sadly passed a way in July, the club decided to introduce a new ladies’ competition – The Christine Lee Cup

A huge thank you to Barry and Martin for organising the Christine Lee Cup competition and for all the prizes. Sixteen ladies took part and everyone said what a memorable day it was and how much they enjoyed it.  Christine would have been very proud and pleased to see so many of our ladies out on the green.   All proceeds raised today will be donated to the Phyllis Tuckwell Charity in memory of Christine.
A big thank you to the markers, those who helped in the morning to put the rinks/equipment out and the spectators.

A special thank you to Vicky and John Raison for donating the beautiful glass trophy which will remain in the club house for all to see.

Edith and Pam Mitchell were runners up in the semi-finals.

Rachel and Sheila had a bit of a battle in the final, 21 all on the last end, with Rachel the winner.
