On Sunday 14th April the Annual Bowls Challenge between the Men and Ladies of HIBC took place.

 

It was great to see a number of new faces in the squads and one or two dubious looking ladies in the “Ladies plus friends” side (Looking lovely Barry!!)

 

Despite a little helping hand from the friends, the Gents prevailed. Simon Wright accepted the trophy on behalf of the Gents from  Val Dobbins.  Well done gents!!

 

However,  the key winners of the day were fun and friendship with everyone enjoying a Bring and Share buffet afterwards.  Big thanks to Val and Sandra Parker for organising the day!
