The Spider

The afternoon was very well attended with over forty bowlers and plenty of spectators enjoying the sunshine along with some fine bowling.

The green was officially opened in the customary manner by the Club Presidents Sylvia Lupton and Richard Luscombe bowling the first woods of the season.

Followed by what is known as The Spider, with bowlers having one foot in the ditch and one on the green, each bowling one wood trying and get closest to the jack in the middle. Congratulations to Bryan Thomas who won and was presented with a litre bottle from Don Bridges.

As expected for the start of the season, the green was a little heavy. A match was played to ten ends over six rinks of triples.

Members and spectators then retired into the clubhouse for refreshments and presentation of the Indoor Section winter trophies.

The overall singles champion was Don Bridges, so congratulations to Don and to Tom Emmett who finished runner-up.

Congratulations to Alfie Dibble and Dennis Williams for picking up the pairs competition and to Paul Finch and Richard Luscombe runners-up.

Congratulations to Mary Ryder, Jim Bass and Richard Luscombe for winning the triples and  to the runners-up John Hill, Bob Attwood and Tim Rhodes.
