Our trip to Skegness went ahead on the 16th September 2021, having been cancelled several times due to covid.  It was a lovely sunny day and enjoyed by all.  Many thanks to Sue Foster who worked hard to get the trip on, but unfortunately she was unable to join us on the day.

BOWLS TOURNAMENT

We had an excellent day’s weather on 21st September for our competition, the bowling wasn’t bad either.  With fewer entries than past tournaments we had to change the format  in order to save the event. Members had to qualify for the knock  out events via a series of  ‘ round robins ‘ . This also enabled players to play more than one game.         The main Tournament was won by…

                                 TERRY EGGINTON      who beat       KEN GRAY

And the runners –up tournament

                                 DON JOHNSON     who beat     JEAN COLEMAN

Don and Jean are  SENIOR SENIOR BLADES both having celebrated their 90th birthdays in the last few weeks. Well done to both of you.

CHARITY RAFFLE

We are going to draw the Charity Raffle after our October lunch.  This year we are donating to the  “ BEARS of SHEFFIELD “  campaign which is the Sheffield Children’s Hospital  charity.  Several prizes to be won including the players kits of DEAN HENDERSON and OLLIE NORWOOD  which were the Senior Blades sponsored  Players of the last two seasons.
