Bournemouth Tour September 2013

The September bowls tour of Bournemouth was a great success.  We played four games, the opponents were: Southbourne, Argyll, Poole Park and New Milton.  We had mixed results on the greens, which all played extremely well.

Away from the bowling people explored the area around Bournemouth, many taking advantage of their bus passes.

As usual with these events a lot of time was spent in the bar, playing cards, silly games or just reminiscing over the shots of the day, particularly the near misses.

The week was very busy so not many photos got taken but a few have been published on our website

Finally a very big thanks to Anne for arranging the tour which happened without a hitch; I am sure there was lots of things happening behind the scenes which we weren’t aware of.

Ladies Day

Well done to the organisers of the Ladies Day, especially to Vicky, Joan, all the men who helped out with the bar, the barbecue and the clearing up, and all those ladies who supplied and helped out with the food. It was a fabulous afternoon and it was great to see so many ladies from other clubs and the newer Members of our club taking part. Roll on next year?? Big thanks to Vicky and Joan for the towels, used mine on Sunday at Tongham where, surprise, surprise, Diane Hill, Rona Jennings, Joan Abbott and myself were third in the Ladies Open competition, following two awesome wins in the last two games in our league, had a great laugh as well.
