Successful CPR & AED Training Day

The club would like to thank Emilie for delivering two highly professional, informative and, at times, amusing CPR and AED training sessions on Sunday the 26th. Around 20% of our membership attended over the course of the day.

Members had the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience using three CPR training manikins and three different types of AED (Automated External Defibrillator) machines, helping to build confidence should they ever need to respond in a real emergency.

Emilie travelled from Bristol in her own time and at her own expense to provide this training free of charge. The club is extremely grateful for her generosity, expertise and enthusiasm in helping our members learn these potentially life-saving skills.

A Review of the Sixth Week’s Encounters by Geoffrey Green of The Times

The sixth week of the West Somerset Bowls League has now been concluded, and with it the competition enters a phase in which the leading sides begin to distinguish themselves with unmistakable clarity. The weather, though variable, proved sufficiently clement to permit the full programme of matches, and the standard of play observed across both divisions was, in the main, of a commendably high order.

Division One

At the summit of the first division, Burnham‑on‑Sea A continue their progress with a composure and authority befitting a side of established pedigree. Their latest success, a decisive victory over Wellington A by seventy-seven shots to forty, consolidates their position at the head of affairs. Their record — six victories from as many matches — speaks to a discipline and consistency that few can hope to rival.

Not far behind, Williton A maintain their pursuit with equal determination. Their triumph over Ilminster B, achieved with a margin that leaves little room for ambiguity, ensures that the contest for the championship remains a matter of interest. Though trailing Burnham by a narrow aggregate, they remain the only side capable of matching the leaders’ unblemished record.

less said about the B Team after Thursday evening’s performance the better, myself included!    However, congratulations to our C Team, who beat the B Team. They played very well and were worthy winners. Well done to everyone involved.

On Sunday, 31st May we were delighted to once again host Hanborough Bowls Club from Witney, Oxfordshire, welcoming back many old friends who have visited us on numerous occasions over the years.

As always, our visitors were wonderful company, and with the sun shining throughout the day, everyone enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of bowling and friendship.

Local photgrapher Claire Lewis was invited to take photographs that will  be used to help brighten up an independent later living development in Burnham-on-Sea. Claire captured a wonderful selection of images, spending considerable time and effort to ensure she achieved the perfect shots from a variety of angles and perspectives.

Some of Claire’s photographs are included in this post. She has kindly given the club permission to share them on our website and Facebook page.

Thank you, Claire, for doing such an excellent job. We are sure the residents will greatly enjoy the photographs.

Enjoy the moment even if it might be Brief.
