June Round Robin

Twelve members took part in the June Round Robin which was held on Sunday 30th June. After recent experiences of playing in conditions varying from cold torrential rain to unbearably hot and sultry weather it was a pleasant change to bowl on an overcast but pleasant afternoon. The afternoon consisted of pairs playing five games of six ends each game. Congratulations to the winners Joyce and Martin, and to the runners-up Alison and Colin. Once again thanks go to John Smith for organising the event.

Blue Bell Trophy

On Sunday 2nd June sixteen club members took part in the competition for the Blue Bell Trophy. The competition is a straightforward knockout with opponents chosen by a random draw. It was played on a lovely afternoon with just enough breeze to stop the weather becoming too hot. Sixteen participants meant that there were four rounds in total. The afternoon saw some great bowling. The finalists were Mike Warwick and Martin Tomlinson. Congratulations to Martin who won the trophy for the second year in succession. Thanks to Vera, our Club Captain, for organising the event which ran so smoothly.

The club supported the Big Bowls Weekend on Sunday 26th May with 10 members braving the inclement weather to enjoy a afternoons social bowling.

Two potential new members joined in and were introduced to the game and coached by Colin and Tom. Both appeared comfortable on the green and looked ‘natural’ with the bowls.

The rain continued so everyone retired to the clubhouse for tea and cake.

Thanks to those who endured the weather and to supplying the, as usual, tasty fare.

Robin Wharfe, (Club Chair)
