9X3 and 9x2 result via Mike Healey July 21st 2022

Seniors - I am sure that a number of you will have been disappointed in the cancellation of the Two Day Challenge this week. As explained via e-mail, it was all done for the right reasons and because of the extreme weather conditions. It has already been moved to September, the sign up sheet has been placed on the noticeboard and all will receive details nearer the time. Twelve "brave or otherwise" members signed up on Tuesday and played in the early morning heat but only friendlies were played, so there are no competitions as such to report, Today we had the unusual situation of having 44 tallies on the board but only 43 names on the cards at the end. With a bit of ghost scoring we managed to complete 11 cards for today's competition "9 x 3" plus "9 x 2". The temperature had dropped considerably from Tuesday and with a slight breeze, conditions were great to play in. There were three team prizes in total with countback required for the last prize: "9 x 3" plus "9 x 2" Result: First: Les Williams, Peter Fraser, Reg Peacock, Steve Monk 115 points Second: Jane Evans, Gareth Thomas, Andy Mitchell, Keith Hawthorn 112 points Third: Alan Bottomley, Ian Ketland, Mike Drake, Peter Taylor 111 points (c/b) Reminder for diaries - We have always supported charity days in the past and donations are required for this year's event - Captain's Charity Day - Saturday 13th August. It would be good if we could support Don in anyway possible - raffle prizes, etc or even better, put your name down to play on the day.
