Ho de Ho!

A good start to the day with the CP Table Football tournament with 22 participants.
Several photos on our FB page.

We then followed with a successful league with 7 wins, 2 losses and 2 rinks playing in the afternoon.

A relaxed afternoon mulling over the morning matches discussing what we would do for the next one.
Sarah B headed off for a swim and several quizzes. Dick, Di & Cliff tried out the badminton whilst the rest of us were getting another cup of tea.
Then Marie, Sarah H, Ann B, Jacqui & Dawn headed up to the skills training session led by Andy Thomson and Greg Harlow.
It turns out were cut good at “tap & lay” shots as Jacqui, Marie and Dawn were awarded Gold Medals for successfully executing the shot on both forehand and backhand!
We then headed off to the CP Kerling Tournament which involved 34 players in pairs, which was won by Val & Janice despite Ewy & Barry L’s best efforts to dislodge the girls’ stones.


Sarah, Kevin, Gary, Maureen & Dawn had a go on the golf target banners then we headed off to the rear of the Bowlers Bar green to watch Ray, Ranjani, Guest & Andy K and Tricia, Sarah, Jacqui & Ann B in their 3rd league matches whilst we enjoyed light beverages.
the support helped as Andy’s team won by 15 shots and Ann’s girls left us on the edge of our seats going into the final end 10-10 and then securing a 1 shot win.
Dinner was in order after that and we piled into the International Arena to watch Tina play lead for Andy Thomson’s Four in the Celebrity Exhibition Match v Greg Harlow’s Four. Hope the link works. Andy’s team won!

Having played in previous years, it is great fun but makes you feel very exposed. One rink and lots of spectators. The CP tourists were out in full force cheering Tina on. She did really well especially as she was up against a young international leading for Greg’s team.
The evening’s entertainment carried on with a Variety Show with the Atlas Music Band providing live music for the singers. They are outstanding.
