Octoberfest

Standard melee to start off our own winter league. 17 players. Cool and windy. At the very end players were starting to drift away as some rain swept in so many won’t know the result.

It was Rita’s day. 3 Wins and +18 followed by Sandra B with 3 wins and +12.  No-one else won all 3 games but 8 won 2 out of 3 and the best points difference was Yvonne with +15.

Summer Melee Champion

The final event had 14 players and it was cold and cloudy but we were kept going by the cake that Elizabeth had put in her freezer from the Mansfield visit.

Maureen came 3rd, Bob (a new member) did well coming 2nd but Brendan did really well coming 1st,

Sue and Richard were trailing in their last game 12 to 7 to Reg and Clive and Sue told Richard “Shall we score a 6 this end?” and they did which won them the game.
This means that Sue has won the trophy but Daniel forgot to bring it back so the presentation will be later. Here’s the final table

Last of the summer wine event

Robin works out the maths…

The 4 round, “Last of The Summer Wine” Open Pairs event was an interesting event.

Five “pairs” entered. So we fiddled about with the 8 pairs sheet, slightly getting disorientated and hoping that no pair would come round the corner.
Sort of did in the form of Pauline so Pauline joined Rock ‘n’ Roll to become Rock, Roll & Razzle & I had to improvise. So, I thought 4 round snake – no problem we each play the other teams.
Unfortunately the bye round for each make it 5 rounds – the ex accountant needs to go back to basic sums.
Heavy rain nearly stopped play in the middle of the last game when 3 teams were playing for 2nd & 3rd place.
Beeches had already claimed top place, so like seasoned troupers we carried on.

Anyway to cut a long story short we all had an enjoyable day with results: 

Beeches (Malcolm & Sandra)       3 wins +12  £10
Red & White (Fred & Melvin)        2 wins +8      £6
Twin Peaks (Kevin & Christine)    2 wins -0       £4
2 Bob  (Bob & Sandie)                  2 wins –5     Nowt
Rock, Roll & Razzle                       1 win –15     Bugger All

No more Thursdays any more

At the end of August Thursday evenings ceased to exist. Play returns to afternoons starting at 1pm. This saves a lot of time adjusting times as the sun sets earlier and earlier. Thursday evenings return on 3rd May 2018.

Pay to play Tuesday

15 people paid £2 today to play in a 4 round melee. Just as we were starting 2 more members hove into view and we briefly thought about re-drawing the games but the 2 decided they would just practise so we carried on

** Note to all members ** Parking is difficult. Leave extra time to arrive on time.

So we played 4 rounds and only one player won all 4 and that was Marie. With a point difference of +28 she was clearly the best on the day and won a nice little £15.

Four players won 3 games. Sue had a points total of +8, Paul had +16 but Phil and Kevin were tied on +20. It was either split the money or gamble on a one end playoff. Both players opted for the playoff and it didn’t take long. Phil was nearest after 3 throws and Kevin had one shot to either outpoint him or shoot him out. The shot missed and Kevin took home £5 with Phil trousering £10.
