Down at the Club This Week

A lot has been happening down at the Club this week when were blessed with fine crisp winter’s days and it became quite warm when the sun had had time to wake up.

Roger Grif & Vickie scrubbed all the grime off the cabin and applied several coats of preservative

 

 

 

 

 

Pete finished off the last bits and pieces in the kitchen that Tom had installed a few months ago before he went on to fixing new guttering

Bernard installed new wall lights to finish off the new external lighting installation which started a couple of months ago with the new floodlights (a real electrician is due to come to test and certify it all!)

 

 

 

Roger Green started the refurbishment of the bench seating

 

 

 

OH!………

……….. and there was some petanque played!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are looking to fix a day in the near future to repair and paint all the fence panels when we will be looking for a few more volunteers to make light work of the job.

2020 President’s Cup

Last Sunday saw 16 members compete for the President’s Cup on a fine winter’s day. Three rounds in melee format were played and the competition was fierce for the first Club competition of the year. 

After the 3 rounds were complete, only two competitors emerged with 3 wins each. After the results had been scrutinised and El Pres got his abacus out, it was confirmed that Keith Nott had a better points difference than Tony Smith and, to the tumultuous applause of the gathered crowd, Keith was declared the winner.
