This Saturday we have the last of the season’s day-long club competitions – the Presidents Cup. It’s a bit different to other bowls formats in that the scoring is 4-3-2-1 regardless of who’s holding shot bowl. We’ll play a series of short games using a swiss system (not knockout) until we have four semi-finalists and then two finalists. The weather forecast is good, maybe too hot for some but don’t worry, we expect to have plenty of rest periods due to an unprecedented number of entrants. We’re aiming to start the first set of games at 10:30am so please report from 10am ready for the draw. We expect to finish around 4pm, although some may wish to bow out before that. Nikki is kindly arranging pizza for lunch and will be taking any orders on the morning. If you’re expecting to play please check you’re on the list below and let me have any changes asap.

In the season-long club competitions, the Junior Championship has produced the first finalist. Congratulations to Andrew who had to battle through three rounds before beating Sandy in their semi-final, but only just and by winning fewer ends too!

Thanks for the response to help building the summerhouse on the 14th. We’ll let folk know when the delivery time is confirmed.
