On the penultimate weekend of the season, glorious weather and great bowling was witnessed by both players and spectators alike.
On the Saturday, 19th, we entertained Southbourne for another round of friendly Aussie Pairs matches. Although the matches were enjoyable, results wise we didn't fare any better than the earlier friendly played in August. As last time, we only won one rink, then drawing two and losing the other three. The overall score was Ringwood 105, Southbourne 132.
Many thanks again to Paul for producing a wonderful, fast green and also to those members who, with their efforts, made it possible to organise and run the event.
Also, a special mention for Anne Taylor, who on her Birthday, put in a mammoth shift of effort to ensure the event ran sweetly. Many thanks Anne.

Many thanks to Doug Jones for organising and running the competition and to all those who took part.
Hopefully next year will be more like a normal bowling season. In the meantime,
Stay Safe and Well

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Sharon Varndell's Father, Rob passed away peacefully in hospital yesterday.
Although Rob was not a regular visitor to the club he will be fondly remembered by those who met and new him.
Our thoughts and our deep condolences go out to Sharon and her family, at this most difficult of times.
Anne Taylor took the following picture of the Green during the Heavy Downpour of yesterday afternoon.
