The following 10 ‘photos were taken on 31.01.2010
at Hornsea Indoor Bowling Club. We really missed our
absent friends. Some were having a MOT (hope
there is not a long wait for spare parts) while others
were cruising in the Med. Look what you missed!
This is the only time you will get a cold welcome!
Can any one see the Jack?
Aww. What it is like to be young! This is Bernard
and Hilary’s 12 year old grand-daughter Katie with Rory
the Tiger sporting a Hull City scarf. Just look at the detail.
Surely living in Tadcaster Katie you should support Leeds!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Quiz Master Tom Anderson who kept
us in fits of laughter.
Captain Bernard, Hilary and Josie all looking very
Christmassy.
Very serious this quiz!
Brains of Britain at work!
Again in this ‘photo!
Look how absorbed this group is. Totally unaware
they have been caught on camera!!!!
Cheers Sheila!
I am sure that is a ‘photo of some one we know!
At least Ben has spotted me!
‘The Baby Sitters’ did not do too well even though
they had Ben and Meg’s help.
Guess the weight of the Cristmas cake – see Social page
for details. It is infact pure white icing but this image
does not do it justice. The cake was won by Mary Bevan.
(Exact weight will appear here shortly)
Who can tell me what these men are doing also,
can you name them? Answers to:

The following photographs were taken by our new
club captain, Bernard, at Hornsea Indoor Bowling
Club on 15 November 2009. Perhaps we should run a
competition and guess who is married to who?
Brian, Jean and Bob. Wonder how well they bowled
after such a large meal?
Jackie, Eric and Terry. Looks like they are waiting
for their coffee to arrive.
Les, Joan and Bess. Wonder where Brian is?
Ahh, here is Brian with his arm around Josie.
John seems happy enough!
Sally looks ready to conduct an Orchestra with the
help of Trevor …. thought you had gone indoor bowling!

with Gordon and Shirley seated.
Gordon looking very thoughtful. Nice pose.
Now we know who Maggie got the idea from to
hide extra chins!
Hang on, are they nicking our seats?
Oh I forgot. These members come every Tuesday
and Thursday during the closed season to do jobs
like this. Here we have Trevor Clark, Gordon Foster
Bernard Smith, Carl Johnson and John Hardman
This is where they store them for the winter months
to protect them. Looks like John is over seeing
this task very well.
Here is Gordon waiting for another pair of hands
to help him push the trailer back
to the Green to collect another seat.

Okay Carl. We all know now you are 1st in
command not 2.i.c as Bernard said! (you need

Not all as it seems!

seriously. Bernard, Eric bowls with his
RIGHT hand not the left!
I’m watching you two!
Smile Ian. Let people think you do want to
be with your wife or she will kick you harder!

we have a fantastic “new” club house. Cheers lads!
By the way, who’s in charge?
Who really is the boss? What do you mean …….
Him up there and Her indoors!
A big grin from Bernard even though he had
drawn the short straw and had to empty the bin!
How cold is it in there………….just look at the
steam coming off the tea. Are you in a
Trade Union? I think you should demand
better working conditions and a tea lad
No 2 Green
Big smile from Jim Bell, our hard-working
Groundsman. How many miles do you walk in
