No! Bryan Tanner has not succumbed to Tyson's Fury.
He has in fact contracted shingles in the eye. In his own words:-
'Hi Allan
Thought you might like to see what shingles in the eye looks like.
Hate letting the club down, but besides the pain and being contagious, I can't see.
Regards Bryan Tanner.'
I spoke with Bryan this morning and despite his pain and suffering he is in an upbeat mood and looking forward to getting better so that he can get back onto the green. He hopes to be back sometime next month, hopefully the early part.
We all wish you well Bryan and look forward to seeing you back on the green.
Get Well Soon Bryan
Unfortunately, on Friday, Ringwood Ladies lost their County Thornbury Trophy West Area Final match against Swanmore.
Today, we entertained Verwood Bowling Club to the second Friendly match of the season between the two clubs. Everybody enjoyed the afternoon's bowling in wonderful weather. This time, Verwood avenged for their earlier defeat by Ringwood. A short report from our Friendlies organiser Jenny Blake follows.
The scores on the doors were as follows: We won 2, we lost 2 and, unfortunately, the total shots were Verwood 58 - Ringwood 53.
Lovely afternoon, sun shone, good company and will be repeated twice again next Season.
Our last friendly is against fordingbridge AWAY on Wednesday 14 August at 2 pm - just a few more names needed on the board.
Jenny Blake
Well Done Jenny.

So, you thought that the Cricket World Cup finale was the best, most exciting, end to a sporting match, EVER.
Well, those pictured above together with the spectators on the night may disagree with you. A report from Barry Vaughan follows:-
24 Hours earlier, the Men's 1st Team became New Forest League Champions again, defeating Fordingbridge at Home. Well done to Derick and all those who played on Tuesday nights. This century, only three clubs have become New Forest League Champions. Ringwood 13 times, Brockenhurst 4 times and Fordingbridge 3 times.
Also on Tuesday, Lee Croad travelled to Southampton Old Bowling Green to play Ken Dow in his latest National Champion of Champions match. He came away with a WIN, 16-21, to secure his place in the Hampshire / Isle of Wight Area Final. Well Done Lee.
We had a visitor on Tuesday morning. Nigel Hurl was spending a few days in Ringwood and he popped in to say hello and have a chat. He also watched a few ends of the matches that were taking place. Good to see you Nigel. We all wish you well and good luck in the, soon to be here, Footy Season.
Overall last week, of the 6 League matches played, Ringwood won 1, lost 4 and drew 1.

1st Poulner Adventure Scouts Bowls Evening
Click on the image to open the Picture Gallery
On Thursday evening, the 1st Poulner Adventure Scouts visited Ringwood Bowling Club for an evening of bowls. 17 enthusiastic, scouts aged between 14 and 18 turned up for a fun evening with plenty of helpers from our club. They aimed at skittles, found their way through hurdles changing the bias along the way, tried target bowls and aimed at a jack with coloured discs marking the way. Many showed natural ability, but all had a great time. After refreshments of cheese, jam sandwiches and biscuits (there were no leftovers) they could choose were they wanted to bowl. All 6 rinks were occupied with more Ringwood bowlers joining in. We all received a huge scout BRAVO at the end and individual thanks from all the scouts, including handshakes.
Thank you to everyone that helped to make this a success but more importantly a great, fun evening.
Debbie.
