Congratulations to all our members who took part in yesterdays Farnham & Distract finals held at our club. We were in four finals, three of which we won!
We beat Odiham in the Ken Britten Cup. The photo of the squad Geoff Ringrose, Edna Lakeman, Harrison Ash, Mick Moorcroft, Anne Hellier and Andy Barrington is opposite.
We beat Aldershot Underwood in the F&D Mixed Triples and
Sheila and Diane beat a pair from Bourne to win the ladies pairs. Sheila also was runner up in the ladies singles.
I am not sure but it must be one the most successful days in the club history, certainly it will go down as a day all those who took part will never forget. The amount of spectators was tremendous. I have to say it gave me great pleasure and pride watching our players represent our club so successfully.
Also, a big thanks you for those who helped on the day, some being at the club at 8am to get things ready and not leaving until 8pm. I had many visiting players say what a great job Farnborough BC had done to host the finals and the manner it was run and friendliness of our members. All in all it was a good day, one of our best. Well done all.
Alec.
I would also like to thank the ladies and men from Farnborough Bowling Club who worked tirelessly throughout the day keeping the competitors, spectators and visitors fed and watered, I spoke to lots of people throughout the day and they all said the food and the way they were looked after was excellent. Well done Farnborough.
