With the numbers we had on the green today we had to play Triples and Pairs. As luck would have it almost everyone played in both disciplines. Once again we played three rounds of four ends. We decided to use rink 2 on the final triples match. This turned out to be a terrific game with everyone playing well. Our winners of the day and pictured are Ruth Carey and Arthur Gray.

A slight chill in the breeze this morning but it was still a nice day to bowl. We played triples in round robins but scored 4,3,2,1. This way of scoring always makes players think....... Our winners of the day are Margaret Cowe and George Watson, both managed an impressive score. So well deserved.

Lovely to see some old faces return and some new faces join us this morning. Round Robin triples were played and our ladies winner was Ruth Carey pictured second left. Our gent winners of the day was a tie between  George Watson and Arthur Gray pictured to the right. Also in the photo is Jerry Daly and Margaret Cowe.

It was a fixed mat and jack Tuesday. With the scoring of 4,3,2,1. We played three round robins which were all very close on the scoresheet. Our winners of the day Margaret Cowe and Martin Edwards are pictured in the sun beside the greens. 

Started the morning with Ladies vs Gents. After two sets and a slight mix around, meaning Malcolm became Marilyn it ended up one set each and by chance the scores were level. So we decided to take a photo of our intrepid players without Marilyn.... From left to right, Margaret Cowe, Ruth Carey, Arthur Gray, Christine and Martin Edwards and Pat Dean who joined for the photo.

This morning we played Sunday round robin pairs. The scoring was quite dramatic with large swings after each round. Our eventual winner Ruth Carey (pictured second left) was 6 shots behind the lead player before the last four end game. She scored 8 shots in those four ends to pip our three runners up (Val Turner, Brenda Mueller and Christine Edwards) by one shot.

Slightly different format today, playing 3,2,1, triples where every player plays in each playing position. We had "The Dragons" Vs "The All Stars" .  The All Stars got off to a great start winning the first set 7-0. The second set saw a complete turnaround with The Dragons winning 8-1. So it all came down to the final set. The Dragons looked comfortable going into the last end but Ann put a good shot in and Skip Ruth bowled two brilliant bowls to put the pressure on. Brenda (The Dragons Skip) managed to get a nice bowl in the head to stop The All Stars getting the 4 shots required for a draw. So the triumphant Dragons are Brenda Mueller, Arthur Gray and Val Turner.

Our winning pair today, Ann Noble and Benda Mueller carried on their good form from yesterday to complete a double win. Round robin pairs in glorious sunshine. 

This morning we organised four bowl pairs. Playing a short / long fixed Jack with 4,3,2,1, scoring. Adding up the individual scores all players were very close but our winning top scorers with 65 and 63 shots are Ann Noble and Brenda Mueller.

Four new bowling ladies joined us today for a sunny game of bowls on the green. We played triples, four ends, three round robins. After totalling the shots up our two winners are Val Turner and Arthur Gray. Arthur and Val are pictured together. Also on the right of the photo is Pat Dean who most of us know. She managed a few ends by herself (with a little help from us) and hopefully enjoyed it.

This morning we played 4 bowl pairs. It proved tricky with the cross winds but our worthy winners mastered it. Our photo of the day shows our jubilant pair, Ruth Carey and Arthur Gray.

We played 6 end sets with varied length mats today and we ended up with a tie for first place. So, our photo of the day shows five of those six players. From left to right they are Ruth Carey, Liz Lightfoot, Irene Lawson, Arthur Gray and Steve Pointing.

Valentine's Day today, so any touchers (or kissing the jack) were awarded an extra shot. All the men managed to score an extra shot. After an exciting blustery morning our eventual ladies winner was Ruth Carey and we had a tied score for the Gents, Douglas Goode and Stephen Pointing.

Due to an overnight storm and the green being unplayable we were fortunate that the short mats were available for our use. Weather improved through the morning. Our photo shows Arthur Gray, Stephen Pointing. Our Men's winner of the day Tom Walters, Judith Walters and our ladies winner Rose Parker.

Started the morning with a spider competition and after the mayhem Douglas Goode was our prizewinner. We continued with "fixed Jack Triples" and a scoring system of 4,3,2,1. This format keeps everybody on their toes. Our eventual individual winners were Ruth Carey and Arthur Gray.

It was lovely today to see some familiar faces and three new faces joining us for the first time. We played triples and pairs round robin. Our winners of the day were one of our new ladies Ros Askew scoring 15 shots and Tom Walters 16 shots.

On a lovely sunny (ish) day we played "3" four end triples and had individual scores. Pictured is our Champion of the day Tom Walters. Well done Tom.

Today we played "Three Set Triples". Steve Hollister, Judith Wheeler and Douglas Goode were victorious by Two sets to one. It shows how set play differs from normal scoring as the total shots were 11 each.

Picture shows some of our hardy bowlers who were sheltering between some heavy precipitation. Well done, Tom & Judith Walters, Judith Wheeler and Steve Hollister for sticking with it.

Today on the short mats we played 4 end set triples. After two sets it was one all. The deciding set was close with the team of three ladies getting three shots on the final end to win the day. Pictured are Chandrika Doshi, Judith Wheeler and Judith Walters.

We made use of the short mats today. It was nice to see a couple of new people giving Bowls a go. Some found it difficult to compensate to the speed of the carpet but were improving as the morning progressed. We played triples and our winners were Judith and Tom Walters.

Rain stopped play today, however we rounded up the troops and with the help of Gayle and Colin a morning's bridge was played.

Thanks Gayle and Colin. Also thanks to Louisa who was very helpful when we asked for the Short Mats to be put out so we can play indoors if needed in the next few days. Of course we are hoping to be outside in the sun ☀️ but who knows. 

Malc and Mo took over from Cindy and David today. We played triples on a sunny morning. After two sets of 6 ends it was one set each but our winners by one shot were, Steve Hollister, Judith Walters and Malc Rowe.
