Thanks to all who contributed to the Bowling evening on Tuesday. It was a great evening with 14 ladies taking part. The weather was kind after a wet afternoon and it was relaxing!!! and enjoyable. We appreciated the friendship and chat along with the refreshments afterwards.
Hilary was our ‘official photographer’, the photos will be on the Facebook website under ‘ Ladies of the Lakes’.
The last Round Robin of the season took place on Sunday August 22nd. Eighteen members turned up to play. Apart from a few minutes of light rain the weather was fair. The afternoon began at 1.30pm and finished at 5.30pm, so it was a long afternoon’s bowling. Members played eight rounds of five ends in doubles.
Congratulations to the runners up, who were Julie Wharfe and John Smith, and to the winners who were Susan Ellis and Adrian Salt.

Ten members turned up to play in baking hot conditions. It was so hot that part way through the competition a decision had to be taken whether to continue play or whether to abandon the games. Being made of stern stuff the players decided to soldier on.
The winners were Susan Ellis and Hilary James. Second were Colin James and George Handley. Third were Vera Alderson and Mike Warick.
Colin ably stood in for John Smith who unfortunately couldn’t be present.
Well done everyone.

Robin reports that it was a good afternoon with warm, sunny weather and twelve players playing as six pairs. The green was very fast which meant that lots of bowls finished up in the gutter.
Congratulations go to Colin and Hilary James who were once again drawn together and who once again won (Mmmmm!): they won with 9 points and an aggregate of 19.
The runners-up were Julie Wharfe and Keith Barrett with 7 points and an aggregate of 12.

May 23rd
Sunday May 23rd saw the first Round Robin of the season. Twelve members turned up to play. The event began at 1.30pm and finished at 5.40pm. The weather was far from what might be expected in late May – it was cold and later in the afternoon rain set in. Nevertheless, despite the conditions people were glad to be taking part in a club event. Congratulations to Hilary and Colin who won; and to the runners-up Vera and Robin.
Thanks once again to John Smith who organised the event and who did the calculations.
Sunday 13th June saw club members vying for the Blue Bell Trophy.
Those who played were left searching for the glorious sunshine and heatwave which the weather forecasters had predicted. Nevertheless, it remained dry, although overcast and humid.
Twelve members joined in the competition which was run on a knockout system with handicaps. After playing several rounds the finalists were Robin Wharfe and Adrian Salt.

It was a close fought battle for the trophy which was eventually won by Adrian Salt with a score of 21 – 18. Congratulations to Adrian.
Adrian and Robin began with a score of 7 – 7 on the cards with the final score 21-18 to Adrian.
