Christmas Party

Last night we held our Christmas Party at Christow. The evening was a great success and was enjoyed by all. The bowls on the evening consisted of 6 teams playing a three mat challenge with a difference, not a jack in sight. There was a lucky dip for landing on prize wining squares and a prize for the overall points winners at the end of the challenge. The winners were Trevor, Steve, Edwin & Maureen, well done to them. Lots of food bought along by us all was then consumed, very nice it was too. A big thank you to Trevor for putting in the extra effort in organising the evening and to everyone for the lovely food.
Below are a few pictures from the evening.

Last night Both Christow 'B' and Christow 'C' played a match each in the Exeter League. The 'B' team (Janet, Edwin & Neil) hosted Nomads 'A' at Christow. They got off to a shaky start and by the fourth end were 7 shots to 1 down. Christow then scored on the next 5 ends and took a 2 shot advantage which they built on during the remainder of the game. Final Score Christow 'B' 15 Nomads 'A' 11.
Christow 'C' (Ava, Jeanette & Mark) were playing away to Broadclyst 'A'. The match was very competitive and a tight affair, Christow unfortunately lost the match by a single shot. I am not aware of the final score.
Well done everyone.
