The Blue Bell Trophy

The Blue Bell Trophy

On Sunday 12th June the competition for the Blue Bell Trophy took place. The competition began at 1.30pm and finished around 5.30pm. Fifteen club members took part. The weather was blustery winds with intermittent showers with people commenting that it didn’t feel like June at all. The competition is a straightforward knockout with handicaps. Martin Tomlinson played Charles Ellis, and Vera Alderson played Mike Warick in the semi-finals. Mike and Charles went through to the final with Charles being successful in winning the Trophy.

Once again many thanks to John Smith for his hard work in organising the event. John, the Club Captain is seen on the left ready to present the prizes. Centre is Mike receiving his prize and on the right Charles is seen receiving the Trophy and a bottle of wine.

Sixteen members played in the Jubilee Round Robin. It was played in grey conditions with some intermittent rain. Once again, besides the bowling, members enjoyed the fun and friendship, not to mention the refreshments. Wine was available either with the refreshments or after the Round Robin was over. It’s not clear whether the winners were helped by having a glass of wine during the break in play. It’s suspected that some players had a glass of wine afterwards as a commiseration. Once again many thanks to John Smith for his hard work in sorting everything out.

The winners of the Jubilee Round Robin were: First – Hilary and Martin; Second – Helen and Tom; Third – Susan and Charles. Top left is Hilary faced with the difficult decision of whether to choose wine or wine. Middle top are Martin and Hilary the winners. Top right are Tom and Helen shaking hands.

The Big Bowls Weekend took place on Sunday 29th May. Club members came along and six visitors came to see what it was all about. A great time was had by everyone. It wasn’t all about bowling though; the refreshments and friendship were equally good.
