On Tuesday 12th September, Ringwood Ladies held their foutth Triples event. We have come a long way in that time. From the humble beginnings where we had to supplement our teams with the gentlemen that had turned up for a roll up in 2013 to 30 ladies all in whites and ready to play all day in 2017.
We lost to Verwood in year one. We lost to West Moors in year two but in year three Ringwood Ladies won with Sue Wyatt as skip, Debbie Senior no. 2 and Mavis Hammond as no.1. Unfortunately, year four was not to be for Ringwood either. The finalists were Highcliffe and New Milton with New Milton becoming the winning team.
Everyone joined in the spirit of the day which was competitive but fun. The general comments were what a super day it was and how nice not to be playing under the pressure of a league match. We were also very lucky with the weather. Sunshine all the way except for a slight drizzle during the semi final.
Medals were awarded for the runners up and the winners everyone else had to make do with raffle winnings, a lovely lunch, superb cakes (supplied by Mary MacArthur, Audrey Merrington, Helena Webber, Sue West and Celia Cheadle) and prize money of £12 to Margaret Whale of New Milton.
We are looking forward to another lovely Triples day in 2018.
£109 was raised for the local PDSA mostly as a result of the fabulous raffle.
Grateful thanks are due to the helpers who gave up their time to administer the scoring (Frank Senior), timing (Dave Lewis) and kitchen (Judy Lewis). The picture below was taken just before lunch.
