Good luck to Karen & Jacqui as they face Surrey in their Ladies Pairs at Leamington starting at 12:00.
a win will mean a second game after 16:00 on Sunday then hopefully into quarter finals plus on Monday.
We’re rooting for you from home and at Leamington!
Change of tack …
Old Macdonald had a bowls club
E-I-E-I-O
And on that farm he had some bowlers
E-I-E-I-O!
With a draw shot here, a running shot there, here a draw, there a toucher, here a wrong bias – oops!
E-I-E-I-O!
And on Sunday 30th, Ange will be whipping the Summer BBQ into producing wonderful food from 2:00 pm
For those wanting to burn up some pre BBQ calories, there will be bowling from high noon.
Get those straw hats out to keep the sun off (hope it will be sun) and come and join the fun. Any farmyard related outfits will be welcomed!
The event is open to outdoor and indoor members and their families. There’s a sign up sheet in the clubhouse. Look for the poster on the notice board.
Well done to this evening’s teams.

For those of you who will be home on the ranch , it’s going to be very hot again for roll ups and Friday Night Leagues , so make sure you have suncream and a hat and water to get you through the bowls until the bar opens.

Result – a win for Middlesex but a fantastic result for Caroline P (last minute sub and her first County game) and Joan K from CP alongside Ann B (Bishop Duppas) and Rita M (Staines) who won Top Rink! Well done!
And well done to Karen and her kitchen team and Alasdair and his bar team who looked after all the ladies throughout the day but especially after play had finished
