Another season came to an end with the closing of the green on Sunday 18th September. A well attended match between the Treasurer's team, led by Sandy Robinson and the Secretary's team, led by Steve Saunders, was thoroughly enjoyed by all with much banter between the teams. The result was unimportant but for the purists the match was won by the Treasurer!

We now look forward to a winter season of carpet bowls, pool, darts and domino competitions along with our regular Friday night bingo and social events.
