Jack and Jean Isherwood

On Friday May 12th the Cumbrian heat of the Jack and Jean Isherwood Championship was held on our green. John Smith, our Club Captain, did a magnificent job in organising the event, and he would like to thank club members for all their contributions to making the day such a success.

The winner was Billy Caldwell and the runner-up was Dave McRoy. Billy is seen below on the left, John Smith, (the organiser) is in the middle and Dave is on the right.

The other two players who reached the semi-finals were Paul Crosland, seen below on the left, and Colin Mason, seen below on the right.

Coronation

Social

Bowling

On Sunday 7th May to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III and the crowning of Camilla as Queen the club held a social bowling afternoon. The format was singles games up to 11 and then a further set of games up to 11. Refreshments were then taken including a glass of fizz. Three people finished on 24 points each – John Cross, Adrian Salt, and Charles Ellis. They then played five ends or sudden death. John Cross was the winner, with Charles Ellis coming second. Further refreshments were then taken in the form of Margaret’s Coronation Scones suitably adorned in red, white, and blue.

Entertainment was also provided by members submitting their answers to the vexed question of where Joyce had finally found her bowling glove.
