THE ST IPPOLYTS BOWLER

Welcome to the final newsletter of 2019.

Firstly, Barbara King would like to thank everyone for the cards and kind messages of support. We wish Barbara a speedy recovery.

It was another good season on the green, we won the SML Knockout Competition for the third time in four years and came second in the SML.

MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING

The coffee morning raised £570.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, attended or helped out with this very worthy cause.

QUIZ NIGHT

Thanks to Tony & Katherine for running last month's very successful Quiz night.

The evening, along with bar sales and raffle, raised much needed funds for the club.

PRESENTATION EVENING

Thank you to everyone involved in making the evening at the club house a great success.

Photos will appear on the club web site.

BONUS BALL

The next stakes are due 11th January & 21st March.

Please forward your cheque to Celia, or bring your payment(s) to the pre-Christmas gathering.

CLUB HOUSE WATER SUPPLY

As a winter precaution, the water supply has been turned off (it will be turned back on for the Pre-Christmas gathering).

Please bear this in mind if visiting the club house in winter.

CHRISTMAS HAMPER RAFFLE

Draw will take place at the pre-Christmas gathering on Sunday 8th December.

CLUB COMPETITIONS

It was agreed at the AGM that the following changes will take effect next season. Players will be seeded in Pairs and Triples competitions to make it fairer for novice players, thereby avoiding the situation for example of three novices being drawn against three experienced players. Pairs competitions will be reduced from 21 to 18 ends.

Colin Childs is arranging an away day by coach to Cromer in May and

Muriel is setting up another visit to Swaffham in August.
