New experience yesterday, we bowled on red, took a couple of ends to realise something was different, bowled on rink 1 and all seemed good?? Also John decided that there would be ladies and gents teams, not enough ladies so one or two gents kindly changed sex for a couple of hours. We bowled in pairs and instead of shots it was points, 4-3-2-1, 4 for the bowl nearest to the jack etc. Needless to say Pauline and I excelled we amassed 80 points. Thanks to Paul Malpass and Dave Breakspear for a great game. Also there was a good mix of “new” and “old” bowlers and from the noise and laughs everyone seemed to be having a good time. Thank you and well done to John for organising a fun afternoon. John and Hilary are having a break in September so the husband and I will be running Monday club, so if you have any ideas/special requests let us know. Keep bowling.
Big thank you to Martin and Bob for organising yesterdays event. The weather was good and I for one had a fun day of bowling. Massive thanks to Anne Hellier (skip) and Colin Arnold (lead) for our win, congratulations also to Paul, Joan and John for getting to the final and thanks to everyone else who took part (and spectated) which I am sure everyone will agree resulted in a great day of bowling.
Sunday 22nd July and at last the sun is out and it feels like sumer. 9.30 and 32 bowlers turn up for a full day’s programme of two wood pairs.
After three rounds the fina
l is decided: John and Edna Lakeman verses Christine Lee and Allen Pape. After a very good match, Christine and Allen emerge as the victors. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to all the other teams who took part. A special thanks to Martin Lee for organising.

Farnborough Bowling Club Triples Team (Dennis, Keith and Michael) qualified for two semi-finals of the Aldershot & District Competition. They beat Cove 19 – 0 on Friday and narrowly beat Farnborough British Legion on Saturday. The game was level after 18 ends but the Farnborough trio’s skip (Dennis) took the shot on the last bowl of the extra end.
