2022 President's Day
Sunday 10th July
The rinks were full with 43 members taking to the green on a very warm afternoon to recognise Sandra Ringshaw's final year as Club President. The afternoon commenced with a very warmly contested "Spider", which got bowled over in the excitement and was escorted off the green after a check for any broken limbs. The nearest and winner of the "Spider" was Patricia Heather.
The President versus Captain challenge consisted of 3 rinks and 3 triples in a contest of 15 ends. The result was a 3-3 draw, however on countback the Captain's side triumphed by 96 to 86 on points.
The winning team was the Captain's triple Angela Ueckermann, Derek Petrie with Debbie Walmsley as skip and the runners up were the President's rink Jean Saw/Val Nice, Margaret Tinton, Barry Kavanagh with Bob Pudney as skip.
The members and guests then indulged in an afternoon tea of sandwiches, scones and cakes, not to forget the Prosecco, Red Wine and Shloer. Speeches and presentations followed along with a parade of bowls dress from the past to present, by those senior members who still have big enough wardrobes to store such things. Thanks to Sandra and her helpers for a well organised event.
