Christow B v Broadclyst A Result

On Wednesday evening Christow B (Janet, Chris & Edwin) travelled to Broadclyst to play their 12th match in this seasons Exeter League competition. This was the only match being played on the evening and it appeared to the Christow players that the mat was not put in its normal position. Broadclyst B (Margaret, Alan & Janet Cuff) only managed to score on 4 ends during the game as they struggled with the mat. Christow on the other hand relaxed into some steady scoring and won the match with a convincing score  25 - 6. Well done to Christow, great result.

No Bowls Sunday 7th April

There will be NO club night on Sunday 7th April. This is due to the hall being required for an event.

Statement from Mary

I will be stepping down from my role as treasurer at the end of this season. I have been treasurer for nearly 10 years and found it an enjoyable experience that made me feel a valued member of the club. I have taken the decision due to health reasons, mainly my eyesight, which is not what it used to be and I am now struggling to carry out my duties. I will be on hand to assist the new treasurer until they are comfortable in their new role.
Mary.
