The weather looked very unpromising to start with, but by 2pm the sun had come out and it was a lovely afternoon. A good number of spectators gathered to see Tam Motion and Tom Lenagan compete for the Mens Championship, with the President Derick Scott as marker, and Ann Henderson play Sally Vick for the ladies, marked by the Vice President Christine Simpson.

The men's match was a very closely fought contest throughout with the scores almost even for most of the game. At the last end in a nail biting finishwith the score standing at 20 all, Tom Lenagan won by 1 shot. In the case of the ladies, Sally pulled right ahead early on, but Ann fought back well and the final score was 22-13.

Both matches were excellent to watch and many congratulations to all of the contestants. The game was followed by tea and cake outside with the spectators included.

XILINX Day Out

On August 1^st our Club was very pleased to host an afternoon of bowls for Xilinx, a local computer software firm. We provided enough bowls for 48 people, most of whom had never bowled before, and after a tentative start they had great fun discovering how difficult it is to bowl!

They brought their own refreshments and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, especially as the weather was so good. By the end (about 7pm) there was a hard core of enthusiasts left on the green who asked if they could put up a team for a challenge game against our Club! We hope this will take place later this month or September.

Socially distanced bowling!!
