Spring Bowling Picnic Report

Christow held a Charity bowls competition yesterday in aid of the National Autistic Society. It was called the Spring Bowling Picnic...not that the weather was very Spring like! 16 teams consisting of 3 players with 2 woods each took part. Everyone played 3 games in the 4 sessions before lunch, Lunch was an amazing selection of food in the style of a picnic with a lot of the food including cakes for the afternoon being generously supplied by people connected with the event... thank you to you all.
Feeling refreshed the afternoon knockout stages began. The top two teams from each group entered the Cup Finals and the remainder went into the Plate Final. How each team progressed can be seen in the table below:

As this was a very informal event the organisers decided to offer an extra prize. The brief was as follows.............As it’s a picnic, have a rummage in your chest of drawers or walk-in wardrobe (if you’re posh) and wear something suitable for bowling in the country There will be a prize for the best dressed team (no wellies on the mats!) 

Wining this accolade were Exeter Nomads (see picture below).

The event was very successful and raised £426 for the Charity. Congractulations to Carol & Tom Archer for organising the day along with Trevor Tregillus, A big thank you to Ian Nicholls who managed to bowl and score the competition at the same time. Also to all who helped in the kitchen and set up the hall.
