Congratulations to the winners John Cross and Martin Tomlinson, and to the runners-up Bert Suttie and Mike Warick.

On Sunday August 7th twenty two club members turned up to play in the August Round Robin. John Smith, our Club Captain, had once again kindly sorted out the arrangements for play and scoring. The players were split into two groups: Group A played five games of six ends, while Group B played four games of eight ends. The competition, was played in warm and pleasant conditions: it began at 1.30pm and with a break for refreshments it finished at 4.50pm.
The winners of Group A were Alison and Adrian Salt; the runners up were Susan and Mike. The winners of Group B were Vera and George; the runners up were Margaret and John Cross.

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. Bottom left is Tom getting carried away congratulating Helen. Bottom right is Susan. The prizes were awarded by our Club Chair, Vera.

Sunday May 1st saw the first Round Robin of the year. The day was drizzly and grey, but spirits weren’t dampened and the fourteen members who took part enjoyed the bowling and the friendship. Of course, half way through members enjoyed refreshments and a chat in the club house.
In fourth place were Joyce and Colin; third were Susan and John Cross; second were Margaret and Bert; and the winners were Hilary and Charles.
Once again, many thanks to John Smith for organising the afternoon and sorting out all the paperwork.

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.
