As usual we would encourage all the players and anyone else that wishes to come along for an informal supper consisting of a main course followed by cakes and coffee after these games.

Summer Evenings

On the evening of Saturday 11th June a total of 19 members and their families turned up at Gifford Bowling Club for our annual summer bowling (chatting) night.  The large turn out was down to the hard work of Shelagh and John on the phone, so thanks to them.

Fortunately the rain held off and the players dragged themselves from the bar and onto the green, where the team of Morgan & Muriel proceeded to wipe the floor with the other teams, winning nine of 12 ends and finishing the night with a total of 8 shots (are they called that in Bowls?) up.  Another Nicoll, Liz this time, came second with Dave Munro with a lowly +3.  Third place was shared by Team Nicoll (Lorna) / James Logan and Team Kinnaird assisted by Becky Young on +2.

Only one more of the remaining teams, despite containing multiple previous winners, managed   positive scores.
The bowling concluded, it was back to the bar for beer and food.
Thanks once again to Gifford Bowling Club for putting up with us and to Dave Wyllie who helped whip us into some semblance of order.
