B Green

.The replacement of the carpet on B Green has now been completed. It is looking really good. Our thanks to Dave and Ross for all the work they have done in putting the numbers etc on. We played on it on Tuesday and it was interesting. We had a great turn out for out Tuesday tournament with 18 teams participating. We need to play on it as often as possible so that it settles down and we increase the speed  of the green and the turn on the bowls jsu as we did with our A green.  If you get the opportunity to play on it, use it as its great experience in adjusting to different greens, which you will need to do, when playing at other clubs. Whoever adjusts first has the best chance of winning.

Walker Cup Winners Philip Payne & John Innes

Congratulations to Phil Payne and John Innes on winning the Walker Cup.

Peter Mansfield won the Coop Trophy on Thursday 24th October, which was our first tournament ot be held on our newly refurbished B Green. Pete played extremely well and was the only player with 4 wins for the day. Dave Hickey came in second with 3 wins. Congrats to both of them. You are probably wondering why there is no photograph of Peter,; that is my fault entirely as i  Could not locate the trophy on the day of the tournament. We have now located it and so a follow up picture will appear in next months newsletter. Apolgies Pete.
