Club Luncheon and Presentation of Trophies

 

Club members and friends came together to celebrate the end of the 2025 Outdoor Bowling Season with a luncheon at the Batch Country House, Lympsham. Festive Jumpers were the optional attire of the day which matched the Christmas menu.

Trophies were presented by outgoing Presidents Sylvia Lupton and Bob Brown to those who achieved success in competitions throughout the season.

Thanks go to Vince Ford and Jean Hills for organising the competitions and to all those who entered into the spirit of the games, had fun and were happy to win or come a close second!

A raffle was held which was generosity supported by donations of prizes and the sale of so many tickets. Jean may not have won a trophy this year, but she made up for it in the raffle!

Thanks are extended to Don and June Bridges for organising the lunch which was a great success.

 

If you are thinking of joining the Club next season there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved.  We offer a variety of competitions at various levels, although some members play purely for fun and relaxation. The Outdoor Season begins mid April 2026 so watch out for more information on this site or on our Facebook page.

Quiz Night

Was Hitler a vegetarian?’ Half the 42 players at our first social of the season thought so, but they were wrong.  

Dressed in black and white the teams engaged in tasks, cheese tasting, identifying flowers, objects of interest and the ever-popular grocer’s feely bag that also became a centre of great laughter and inuendo. Never has a large courgette in a pillowcase caused so much fun.


Terry and Rob fuelled the players with a good night at the bar. Rita supported by Brenda and Alfie provided a superb Ploughman’s Supper of complexity and taste.

The prize awarded for best dressed black and white contestant went to Trudi. The prize for best imaginary pop group name was given to Dot, Anne, Marion and Elaine known as the ‘Dames’. They were also the night’s runners up being beaten by The Swinging Sisters. Their first prize was a banana themed bag!

A splendid raffle including brandy, champagne, marmalade and Marmite concluded the evening.

The quiz night bought together new and old players and social members for the benefit of the club. These events take time and effort to get off the ground and make for a great atmosphere. The next event in August will be a pairs Tiddlywinks Tournament, flipping’ heck.
