What a wonderful ending to this years Quiz evenings! A great turnout to try and win the Money kindly donated by 3 of our members, (what a great idea) thank you Maggie. The quiz which followed was most enjoyable as always. This year there was a bit of a change when one set of questions were set by the Question Masters Grandson. Yes he did catch us out especially the with the question about Santa Claus garden! Well done to both for the Quiz.
Finally the Christmas cake made and decorated by Hilary, if it tastes as good as it looked the person who was within a quarter of an ounce of the correct weight will have a feast.
The pies and mushy peas were as usual most welcome. Let us be thankful we have within the membership, Ladies, with good ideas and work so hard to make these events so successful and enjoyable whilst at the sametime boosting the club funds.
Congratulations and thanks to all of You.
Have a very Happy Christmas and a Healthy Happy and Prosreous New Year!

Having just purchased a new laptop we contacted our ”resident expert” from the Bowls Club, namely Maggie Hankinson who not only helped us to choose the laptop but spent a lot of time setting it up for us, including setting up a wireless network and wiping our old computer clean. Maggie will not accept anything in payment for herself but always appreciates any donation to the Bowling Club Funds. We certainly feel indebted to Maggie for freely giving up her time to help us. I’m sure she would help any other member of the Bowling Club, who in turn would be helping to boost Club Funds.

How much is it worth not to disclose your real age?

It is our Captain Bernard’s Birthday
Hip Hip Hip Hooray
But can you keep a secret?
He’s sixty-two today!

Happy Birthday Bernard

PS. Not being certain of his age I have had to guess and I think he looks about sixty-two.

It’s our Captain Bernard’s Birthday
He’s sixty-two today (again)
But he’s feeling bad
And rather sad
Cos his cakes being given away!

Happy Birthday Bernard

You will have to send us a small piece (not too small after all there are 6 of us) to appraise it.

Re: the weight of the cake

Sorry Neville the correct answer isn’t for sale, but I am sure the ‘great minds’ could try and work it out on Tuesday morning during their tea break – it’s no good asking Bernard he hasn’t a clue, he compares everything to how much a bag of cement weighs – you would think after being married for 51 years and the amount of cooking he has seen me do he would have a bit of an idea.

Happy Birthday Maggie from Peter and I. Didn’t realise it was your 32nd. Thought it was your 21st! Nice photograph.

Sorry that I have not added a word for a while but I was busy getting things ready for our AGM and then my computer blew up, didn’t it Maggie?Unlike Avid Reader’s, ours was the best attended for some time and as the revised constitution was accepted we do not have to worry about the Town Council wanting their money back. Thanks to the trusty 6 plus a couple of extras the greens have been put to bed for the winter. We are not painting the club house this year so we need only meet on a Tuesday. The photo which raised so many comments, and all my bits are still working, was of the great minds getting together to try to solve the problem of ‘what do you put on a hoop pusher that will not scratch the bowls’ and we arrived at a conclusion. As you should know Hillary we have our own SPECIAL BISCUITS. Thank you to all members who rattled the buckets for ‘the Lion’s’ on the Westwood at the bonfire.
Its a lovely looking cake Hilary, how much for the correct answer?
Happy Birthday Maggie now I know why it was raining so hard this morning.
