Men v Ladies 2019

KODAK Digital Still Camera

The Men V Ladies tournament for the prestigious Grail trophy took place on Tuesday September 10th.

With a mis-match of numbers two lady members, Claire & Sue W, volunteered to join the men’s squad and Jack played in a triples with visitors, and possible future members, Steve and Diane.
This allowed us to play a 3 round snake with 4 teams for each side playing a total of 12 games.
Two teams, Richard & Phil and Brendan & Roy achieved a maximum 3 wins helping the Men to a narrow 7 – 5 victory over the Ladies so the men retain the Grail Trophy!

Summer melee winner is Rita!

Very mixed weather – twice during games we sheltered in the Club House – it would have been a squeeze in the old shed!!
We were able to listen to Hudds Fest music as we played.
The results on the day were that 2 members had 3 wins,
Brendan & Robin with identical scores +25 – not surprising as they played together all 3 games. Richard with 2 wins +12 was 3rd.
Nigel was the only player who could catch Rita and he did not play, so Rita was the winner with a magnificent 37 points achieved over April to June.
Final Table. Winter melee starts October 6th.

Petanque Picnic

Picnic in the Park 004We had a great day on Sunday 18th. with lots of lovely food ranging from pork pies to a cooked salmon and trifles to flapjacks. The weather stayed kind to us and  we played a timed game first then ate and had a second game after.
Our local PCSO Tom and his colleague called in and Robin had a turn round the terrain on Tom’s bike.
