Last Sunday's hosting of the National Women's Top Club and the Boys Under 17s Singles All England Round of 16 matches went very well. The following email was received by our Ladies Captain, Chris Pentelow.

'Hi Chris,

Just a quick message to say a huge thank you to yourself and all the members of Ringwood for your very kind hospitality yesterday.

We were made to feel so welcome and your facilities were great. The green bowled lovely and the homemade cakes were beautiful (the talking point of the car journey home).

Thank you again so much for being so accommodating!

We very much hope our paths cross again in the future.

Many thanks,

Charlie
Ladies' Manager
Banister Park Bowling Club'

A big thank you to Chris and all of the Members who's commitment before, during and after the event made it a successful and memorable day

Ringwood Round Table
Report of last Tuesday's Bowls Evening with Ringwood Round Table, from Helen Blackiston.
 
A fun evening. Tuesday we hosted 12 Ringwood Round Tablers to enjoy an evening on our green trying lawn bowls, a number of them for the first time, only reluctantly stopping when it was approaching too dark to play.
The photo in the club house is when it rained for 20mins thank goodness for the bar and sandwiches. They left saying we are really looking forward to doing it all again next year and thanking the evening helpers, Carole, Patricia, Kate, James and Helen.
