15th September 2023. Quiz evening 7pm
Organised for us by Mike Amura from Whitstable bowls club, this was a very good evening and all proceeds went to the captain's charity this year 'Demelza House'. £572 was raised and so a big thank you to all concerned.
Bat and Trap 2023
What has become the annual, Bat and Trap match was held on a warm, sunny Saturday 17th. with seven teams competing in a most enjoyable "friendly" competition with a great deal of good natured "mickey taking" and banter.. A short, sharp rain shower came at a perfect time for a lunch break, after which a few needed encouragement to leave the bar and continue playing..
The end result was Team F winning, consisting of Jackie L. Maria, Rosemarie, Mick N and Ron., who were presented with a nearly gold medal and a bottle of wine (small).
Ron Piper had a clean sweep, by not only being on the winning team but also receiving best bat and best bowler mugs ( I'll make a tea pot for him next year). There was a play off for best bowler between Lena, Brian M, Trevor, Mick W and Ron who had all scored 4 traps each,
A big THANK YOU to all those who helped organise the event, especially Jan and Phil for their hard work and patience. Also to Ron for preparing the pitch ( obviously to his requirements ) haha ! .
We look forward to it all happening again next year.
Platinum day
Over fifty club members gathered to celebrate Queen Elizabeth second's platinum jubilee. The sun shone (at first) and there were games to play including putting, mini bowls and mini hoops.
The food tables were heaving under the weight of food which members had prepared for the afternoon feast. The bar was open and the atmosphere was convivial. A good time was had by all, even when the sun went in and the party moved into the club house.
Thanks go to all the members who worked so hard to ensure this event was a great success.
Coronation Party
A good turnout by members and their guests led to an enjoyable event held both in the clubhouse and outside. There was plenty of food kindly brought in by all who attended and the bar was open to refresh the guests. Photos below.
