Thame Bowls Club weekly newsletter No 17.
Thame Ladies had another match cancelled because of the rain against Watlington on 8th August.
On Saturday the 12th we played a very enjoyable 4 triples match in rather cool and cloudy conditions against Tring, retreating to the clubhouse early to avoid a heavy rainstorm that swept in to end proceedings rather abruptly. At close of play Thame were still 5 points ahead in the match, with Ray Lewin and Deirdre Page helping the Captain Chris Shannon, achieve the best rink on the day, with their table also mopping up all the raffle prizes (clearly Brooksie wasn’t playing!). Our thanks to everyone who took part and provided transport.
On Sunday 13th, a cloudy but quite warm afternoon, Thame entertained our friends from South Oxford. The game was very close and competitive with the visitors running out winners by 91 shots to 78. Thame's highest winning rink by 24 shots to 15 was Sandra French, Norman Hyde and skip Caroline Walker. With 4 reserves our President, Les Canfield, hosted a pairs match with Byron Harvey, Ian Griffiths and Roger Mackriell on rink 1.
