It’s probably 11:04 or it could be 04 past midnight.

Hope you remembered to put your clocks forward!

Thanks Jacqui, Dave R and others who have schedule our Finals.

Good luck to Cathy in the Singles and Tina & Teresa in the Ladies Pairs at 10:00 and to Peter J, Chris P, Kevin K & Teresa in the Mixed Fours at 5:00 tomorrow at Century IBC.
Supporters very welcome!

Well, what a buzzy weekend!

Firstly a big thanks to Jacqui, Brian Cr, Dave R and Cathy who master minded the whole event as well as producing sandwiches and home made muffins for our lunches!  Thanks to Alasdair and Cathy plus others who kept us all well tea’d and watered.  The cans and bottles in the recycling containers confirmed none of us could possibly be dehydrated!

There were several very tight matches where one triple roared ahead like hares but the tortoises stuck at it and managed to creep past the winning line by a hair’s breadth. (Plenty of mixed metaphors there!)

Semi-finalists were Kevin K, Richard D & Chris P v Peter J, Ian D & Steve G with the latter securing a win.
In the other half, Dave P, Scott & Dawn came out on top over Teresa, Gym & Tricia in a game of two halves.

For those who played all weekend and then finished off their Monday night league matches, there were a lot of heavy legs and weary brains with all the weekend’s concentration.

It was good to see so many people taking part and enjoying the banter, bowling and beverages in almost equal measures.  Thank you. Events like these need everyone to pitch in to make them a success.

Finals Day schedules should be out soon once the players in more than one final can be juggled into sensible slots over the Easter Weekend and the Competition Organisers have had time to recover as well.

 

A reminder from Jacqui re Club Triples.
lunch available to purchase both days – Sandwich, Crisps, Fruit and Home Made Muffins!

Thanks to David Hale for his work on the Indoor Leagues. Here are the latest tables to peruse as we head into the final few sessions.

Please read to the bottom to check the dates the matches stop.

After several years, Bob D is stepping down as Fixture Secretary. Thank you for all you’ve done, Bob.
This leaves a vacancy which needs to be filled asap as all the clubs are winding down this indoor season but putting their calendars into shape for 2026-27 indoor season.
A lot of the friendly fixtures stay in a similar place each year e.g. the third Saturday in October or second Sunday in February etc so it is a matter of confirming the actual date and booking the rinks out on the calendar.
Anyway, to find out more, please contact Kevin K or any of the Board to find out more details.  You can also ask Bob.  Thanks.

Thanks to Steve for thinking ahead,as soon as the sun rose in the blue skies, he took out his trusty pen and paper and thought about the Friday Night Leagues!

Since the bowls from last week’s Mens v Ladies match are still looking shiny, they will be out again this afternoon as we taken on local outdoor rivals Bishop Duppas at 2:00 pm.

Will Bob, Frances & Ann B be batting for the opposition?  Come along and find out.  Bowls, banter and beverages all available!

why not come down for a roll up instead?  2:00 start.

 

Unfortunately LCS can’t raise a team due to a clash of commitments.
