Mens Over 60's Inter-Club County League - 3rd February 2020
In a season where 'good results' in the County League/Competitions are somewhat thin on the ground, it makes it all the more pleasing to report on a successful match in the Over 60's A-League against Walton (on-the-Naze). Our single rink at home, comprising Malcolm Cameron, Jack Crowhurst, Graham Brookes and Bob Biffin, produced a fighting performance to come back from a 3-12 deficit, after 9 ends, to achieve a more-than-creditable 16-16 draw, made all the more remarkable due to the fact that they won the last 4 ends with a single shot on each end. Add this feat to the victory, by 12 shots, of our away team - David Jones, Brian King, Steve Warner and Barrie Clements, and this makes the resulting overall match score of 5-1 in our favour, all the more pleasing.

The first extra event of the year was a resounding success.
The drive was organised by the 2 Daves with their usual flair and efficiency. Thank you to them both.
The winners being Rosie Bird, Gwen House, Sue Conway and Viv Smith.
This was followed by a roast dinner prepared by Sue and Colin and their helpers and delicious it was too.
Richard Parker won the bottle of Prosecco.
34 members played and 47 sat down to dinner A happy friendly atmosphere was created by all concerned.
Well done and a big thank you to all who organised and to those who supported this club event. As one of our members remarked, it was so much more fun than staying at home with his usual bowl of soup and he looked forward to the next one as we all do.
