TOMBOLA - 100*

TOM CANHAM'S 100TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS - 1 JULY 2024

The club celebrated life member Tom Canham's forthcoming 100th birthday with a roll-up and a party. Tom had been bowling regularly until a couple of years previously but showed he had not lost his touch as he was able jto join in the roll-up. It was a great occasion and Tom enjoyed himself correcting club chairman Dave Boyns on some details in his speech.

After Tom’s celebration a presentation was made to Janet & Colin Goldsworthy to mark their 50th wedding anniversary also happening in early July.

 

MEN'S PAIRS 2024 - 15 JUNE 2024

The club's men's pairs competition took place one Saturday afternoon in mid-June in generally dry but blustery conditions. Twelve players took part with the six pairings being drawn before play commenced. The all-play-all format produced some exciting ends with matches closely contested. It was a closely fought competition with three teams tying on two wins from their first three matches but after the break only one team won their remaining matches so the overall champions for 2024 were Dave Boyns and Neil Aitken. They were closely followed by Terry Slack and Andrew Ashenhurst who found their form after a slow start.
