Congratulations to Keith on making his debut for the bowls club at home against the touring team Witney Mills Bowls Club from Oxfordshire earlier today.

Keith said he found the game to be very friendly and most enjoyable against a very strong  competitive friendly Witney Team.

The opposition team members on Keith’s rink were most complimentary on the quality of his bowling.

Before he left the club after the game he added his name to more games coming up.

Although Keith’s rink and the club came second in the two-horse race, everyone left with a smile both on the outside and inside.

Keith is shown in the photo being presented with his complementary shirt for playing in his first match for the club by the Men’s President Richard Luscombe.

In the words of the song ‘Oh What a Night’, we certainly had one on Friday July the 19^th in the clubhouse.  Over sixty members attended dressed appropriately in colourful attire to add a sense of celebration to the first social event for some time in the clubhouse on a hot summer night.

The fear of intellectual challenge on quiz night was quickly dispelled as teams named with a ‘plant’ theme, wrestled with true or false statements, ingredients for recipes and a tough round of matching numbers, names and questions all in the great rush to gain terrible mystery prizes including an uncooked baked potato!!!!

Undeterred by challenge, teams were called up to a fantastic dinner of baked potato, chilli and loads of extras to enhance the dishes all under the supervision of Rita Dibble (Michelin star applied for) with Alfie and Brenda supporting whilst Trudi and Dave kept score, and Vince our resident Bouncer manned the door.

As usual Terry, Rob and Dennis looked after all behind the bar and quizzed terribly.

After dinner the fun really began as teams moved around the room having to guess shoe sizes, identify liquids by smell, colour charts and feely bags containing fruits and confectionery and if that wasn’t enough they had to taste crisps and identify the flavours.

There was a successful raffle with the first prize option of a bottle of Grants Whisky or a second hand 500-piece jigsaw was won by Bob N. we still have the jigsaw if anyone would like to buy it?

Come the end of the night you wouldn’t know anything had happened as the team cleaned up, put away and cleaned down.  As the competitors left, positive feedback was given, and everyone is looking forward to the next event.

Please keep an eye on the updated Social Noticeboard as the next event, ‘The Tiddly Winks Challenge Night’ will be ticket only with dreadful prizes but great food.

We think a Saturday night would be a good idea as TV is usually ‘rubbish’.

What do you think?  How about a Bingo Night, Beetle Drive or Games night?

Give your suggestions, requests or ideas to Mike Squire via email  squiresweep@gmail.com  phone or message 07504 253467  

On behalf of the club we would like to Thank Mike who was our wonderful host for the evening and his great team. There was clearly a lot of thought, planning, preparations, organising and effort to produce such a fun filled night.

Quiz Night

19th July.

There will be a quiz at the Club, see the noticeboard for more details. Food, prizes and lots of fun!

Both the away game against Chard on Thursday 4th July and home game against Taunton Vivary in The Turnbull Cup on July the 9th.

Once again due to lack of support.

It has been brought to the club’s attention that the Match Availability Sheets and Selected Teams are not available online on some devices. 

After an investigation the club’s website is operating normally. It would appear the problem is only with phones operating on the Android System, when trying to share the files with OneDrive which is a Microsoft App i.e. the Match Availability Sheets and Selected Teams.

All other devices such as iPhone, Mac Book, Windows Laptops, iPads etc are all operating normally.

Sorry to inform members that it is not a club or our website problem we can solve.  Hopefully the problem is only temporary and will be  soon resolved, how we are not sure?

Ladies Victoria League match away to Mark Moor 2nd July Cancelled due to lack of numbers.
