Roll up, Roll up the Outdoor Season is Almost Upon Us!

With the run of drier weather, it looks like the outdoor green will be open for play on Sunday 26th April. Hooray!

Firstly Brian C along with Tony O’B and Alasdair are looking for some willing volunteers to help get the outside area just as ready as the green.
Starting at 10:00, tidying up the outside space as well as some essential moss-between-the tiles clearing and ditch-weeding will pave the way for members and potential new members to enjoy the club’s outdoor facilities.
There’s a free beer (or other drink) to the volunteers before the roll up starts.
There are light duties as well. If you have gardening and-or rubber gloves suitable for cleaning etc. please come along and help make your club an inviting place for all.
SUNDAY 26th APRIL – put the date in your diary!

Open Triples Weekend – Results

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.
