The Club’s AGM was held on March 24th in the
Village Hall. All of the members of the Committee were re-elected
en bloc. Roy Petts was re-elected as Winter league captain, and Pam
Rayment and Margaret Blackmore were re-elected as joint Summer
league captains. Christine Petts and Jill Mills are to be
responsible for friendlies.
Congratulations must go to all our players for their efforts during
the season, which resulted in winning the league by 4 points from
our friends and rivals – ‘Harkstead’.
Members will be attending the finals day at the Needham Market
leisure on May 24th to receive their trophies. Playing in a higher
league will provide us with many hard games during the next Winter
season, but also a challenge we are looking forward to.
Recently, we played ‘Tattingstone’- away in the first half of the
Cynthia Page Cup, which they won by 5 – 3.

At the end of February, four of our members travelled to Stutton to
play in the 'Fours' Tournament – held in aid of their Village Hall
funds. Bill, the two Veronicas, and Margaret started well with two
13-3 wins over Chelmondiston and Holbrook, but lost to Stutton ‘B’
6-4 and to the eventual winners, Stutton 'A' 10-0, but a very
enjoyable afternoon’s bowling nonetheless.
In early March, Roy & Christine Petts, and David & Veronica
Howe participated in the 'Suffolk Fours Tournament' held at East
Bergholt. The first match against Bergholt was won by 9 shots to 4
followed by an excellent win against the current holders of the
title - Barking, by 9 – 6. However, disappointment was to follow,
as despite being level on the final ends, both the remaining
matches against Hundon and Burstall were finally lost.
Nevertheless, a very encouraging performance in what proved to be a
very competitive day’s bowling.
Our most recent league matches resulted in a stunning 9 – 1 home
win over Stratford-St-Mary, and a 10 – 0 away win over
Tattingstone, which keeps our hopes of promotion alive.
