 CHARLES WARD CHRISTMAS DRAWN PAIRS

For many of our members, the best way to work off some of the Christmas excesses is to play bowls and there was plenty of chance of that on 27^th December when Hornsea Bowls Center hosted the Charles Ward Christmas Pairs competition. After a draw for partners, each partnership had four games in a round robin format. The day was well attended with some magnificent bowls being played but at the end of the day the winners were decided on points.

Kate Baxter and David Dixon triumphed with 8pts and a shot difference of +33, winning £75 each and the competition trophies. Second, winning £50 each, were Mike Ginnelly and David Lee with 8pts and a shot difference of +18 while Lis Watson and James Baxter took came third with 6pts and a shot difference of +30.

Before the trophies were presented those attending also took part in a “Spider” (closest to the bottle) competition, won by new member Garry Jordan and a “Corner to Corner” last man standing game that was won by Dave Lee.

The trophies were presented by Margaret Ginnelly and Graham Watson thanked her for all her hard work during the day. He also thanked Charles Ward Homes for sponsoring the event, Marie for cooking the fabulous bacon sandwiches and anybody else who helped on the day.

 

CHRISTMAS SOCIAL BOWLS AFTERNOON

“What a fantastic afternoon!”, “Great fun!”, “Such a laugh” – just some of the comments after the Christmas Social Bowls Afternoon. With fancy dress optional it was a colourful afternoon on the bowls rink. And then there was the bring and share buffet afternoon. It was a real community event!

The winning rink prize went to Mike Wright, Ian Beadle & Matthew Wright and the fancy dress winners were Ian Beadle, Geoff Gillyon and Sandra Clark. But the real winners were all those who took part.  Big thanks to Val and her team of volunteers for putting on such a fantastic event!
