After a long time struggling to field 8 teams in the Whitchurch League the Club has reluctantly withdrawn their H Team from the Whitchurch League today. We hope that any displaced team members will find homes in one of the remaining 7 teams in this League and/or in a team in another of the 6 Leagues the Club plays in and urge them to continue to keep their bowling nights free as somebody is sure to need them.
Christine Quinlan, the erstwhile captain of the H team, has expressed her thanks to those players who have turned up every week through thick and thin and who have frequently moved willingly to fill gaps in other teams. Without this willingness to put the Club first, the other teams above the H team would themselves have struggled.
So here’s to the H team!
Triples Charity Day
30 bowlers gathered on Sunday to enjoy a charity Triples Round Robin Fun Day. Many of the Club’s Members had never played triples before and were a little apprehensive about how it would work with the prospect of 12 woods clustering around a single jack and not knowing how the scoring would work.
In the event, it worked really well and everybody had a good time. We were fortunate with the weather too with it staying dry for the duration.
Congratulations to the winners: Colin, Eilidh and Bob and the runners-up: Dee, Dot and Sam.
Thanks also to Colin and his family for organising and running the competition, to David Fisher for providing many of the prizes and to Members too numerous to mention for making and helping with serving, the refreshments.
We raised £280 for a local charity. We’ll report back when a final decision has been made about which charity will receive the dosh.
