WHAT A SUCCESS!
Robin Wharfe, our Club Chair writes:
What a day we had for our club’s first ever Open Competition on Saturday 27th July. All the preparation ahead of the big day was met by dark clouds and torrential rain right on cue as competitors, friends, and helpers arrived for a day’s bowling.
I must firstly say a BIG thank you to everyone involved in getting the event off the ground – the clubhouse, food, gazebo, of course the green team, scorers, measurers, and anyone else who did their bit! We had a full house of players, many of whom had not played on our green before. The rain played its part until lunchtime stopping the usual long play as bowls splashed through the puddles. Eventually the sun came through allowing those left in the later stages of the competition to showcase their bowling. two close semi-finals brought the final couples together – Paul Kissock and Karren Walker against Angela Athersmith and Simon Bray. A fantastic final went back and forth eventually climaxing with a trademark strike by Paul Kissock to secure a 21 – 17 win.
Thanks must also go to our sponsors on the day, Pure Leisure, providing valuable support to the club. Throughout the day and since we have received favourable comments with many asking us to consider doing another. Once again, many thanks, we should all be very proud.

Scrumptious refreshments helped to make the day a success. We’re blessed not just with good bowlers but also good bakers. The raffle also helped to raise funds for the club.
