Jingle Boules
As Santa’s sleigh, weighed down with sets of boules as Xmas presents, shoots over Castle Hill we all gaze up and wonder “How the hell does it stay up there with all those boules on board?” but our second thought is “Happy holidays to all our members and followers”.
Next competition is January Member’s melee on 13th January 2019. Between now and then social play is available on normal days and on 23rd December we’ll put on Tea, Coffee & Mince Pies in the new Clubhouse.

Next Melee in January 13th

First Shooting Competition
On Sunday 18th 12 members took part in our first ever Shooting Competition or Tir de Précision.
Over 4 distances, 6,7,8 and 9m and 5 disciplines the maximum score is 100. Dylan Rocher was 2018 World Champion shooter with a score of 57.
We played over 6,7 and 8m so the possible maximum score was 75
The top three members were Pete scoring 6, Brendan with 5 and Margaret with 4! Several players did not bother the judge at all!
Everyone enjoyed the experience (I think) and we will repeat the competition regularly now we’ve taken the plunge. Maybe a monthly shooting competition? Food for thought!
One thing our results show very clearly is that we all need to practice shooting a lot more. When we get our Monday training sessions back on track we can concentrate on this discipline.

Benny Hill builds new clubhouse.
We’ve spent the last few days building our new clubhouse. If you want to see it and also play boules on our terrain pop round to the Marsh Gates at Greenhead Park on Sunday or Tuesday at 1pm. Here’s the video of the first day of the build. Speakers on!
