Quiz evening 7th Sept 2024

A very successful quiz was held at the bowling club on Saturday 7th September. It was well supported by aspiring quizzers with eight tables having five or more people on each table.
Bob Cliff was the quiz master, who delivered four subject specific rounds , three general knowledge rounds and a picture round.
The raffle was drawn at half time and a ‘Heads and Tails ‘ game was held which proved to be both lucrative and entertaining.
A supper of chip baps and desserts concluded the half time break to be followed by the last quiz rounds.
A sociable and entertaining evening was had by all and hopefully raised much needed funds for the club .
The winning quiz team was ‘Alfie’s Fan Club ‘ with a winning score of 60.

Very many thanks to all of the helpers (you know who you are), all of whom were too busy and having a good time to take any photos!

It’s encouraging that social evenings such as these attract both bowlers and their friends and any other ideas/suggestions for other events would be welcomed.

Summer Fun Day Handicap Competition Sat 31st Aug 2024

We had a Fun Day on Saturday 31st Aug. with a slightly different format to our usual fun days. This one was a Singles Handicap and everyone brought a plate of food for sharing. The sun shone on us although there was a brisk breeze blowing. Losers in the first round were automatically entered in a Consolation Cup so everyone got at least two games of bowls.

16 people entered the competition with Richard Sheasby winning the Cup and Dee Simcock as runner up. Mike McKeown won the Consolation prize with John Mitchell runner-up. There are some photos below but we really need a new photographer in chief because the present one (me) is rubbish. All applications in sealed envelopes to me anytime you please.
