At 10am sharp on Sunday 27^th June, Trevor West blew his whistle to start the

Beverley Town Bowling Club’s 25^th‘Whistle Stop’ which is the Clubs main fundraising event of the year and is sponsored by Beverley Building Society & Michael Guest Jewellers.

36 teams each of 4 players had travelled from North and South of the River Humber to compete for Prize money of £300.

The teams, having been divided into 2 sections of 18, each played 5 bowling sessions of 37 minutes, during the day. There was strong competition and several teams were still in the ‘dash for the cash’ at the start of the last session for each section.

Tom Smith of Beverley Town with 8 points from the 10 available but with a larger shot difference than 3 other teams that had also finished on 8 points took 4^th place.

Pam Hought of  Leven, with 9 points, had to settle for 3^rd place as Ron Reed of Withernsea also with 9 points had a superior shot difference.

Peter Stephenson of Hull Marine, having won all 5 matches, was a worthy winner of the £120 First Prize.

It was a sad day for B.T.B.C. as at noon, Trevor West who had been the ‘Whistleblower’ for all 25 Whistle Stops, retired and handed his whistle to the Club’s Secretary who controlled the event for the remainder of the day.

After finalising the day’s results, Derek Robinson who coordinated and acted as scorekeeper for the event since 2002, also retired.

To mark his retirement Trevor West donated the raffle’s ‘Star Prize’ of flowers, champagne and a suitably decorated cake, which was won by Marie Whitford  of Atwick Road Hornsea  Outdoor Bowls Club.

Next year’s Whistle Stop will take place as usual on the last Sunday in June which in 2011 is the 26th June.

Anyone requiring further details should contact the Secretary on 01482870550.
