A cut before we open-but what is missing from the picture on the left?
Answers to your green team-there may be a prize

For those who have not seen the green since last September work
has continued throughout the last 6 months with the aim of
producing a good playing surface for all members to play on.
We re-seeded the green in October and have this year used basically
organic fertilisers and soil conditioners and a different timetable to
get us to this stage where we are now at 6.00mm in readiness for our
Open Day. Thanks go to Charles and Adrian for all the unseen hard
work and to Badger for looking after the gardens surrounding the
green.
We hope that you enjoy the coming season and the green bowls and
looks well throughout. Those interested in the up keep of the green
would be most welcome to join the small team.
The Greenkeeper.

Another very successful charity day was held at Lostwithiel Bowls Club which raised a grand total of £1250 for Cornwall Hospice Care. A presentation of the cheque was made on 21st August. A big thank you to all the teams that participated to this worthy cause.

On Saturday 24th August 12 club players competed in this annual
event in an attempt to win one of the appropriately dressed stuffed
toys with the successful players having to add to the toy for the
following years event.
The Club Treasurer John presented the prizes to Wendy Nicholson-
Bertha and Peter Brock-Bertie with Booby going this year to last
year’s top prize winner Adrian Wood. Congratulations to all.
This was followed by a Faith Tea and thanks to Chris Burrough
helping to get the food out and all for the washing up and supplying
the excellent range of foodstuffs.

 

On Sunday 18th August we held our Annual Charity Triples Day with all money
raised going to Cornwall Hospice Care. Eighteen teams had signed up from
many local clubs as well as some of Lostwithiel. Many thanks to all players, all
club members who provided food, services and raffle prizes, to local traders
who supported the event and former players and friends who helped in so
many ways.
The real beneficiary will be Cornwall Hospice Care when we hand over the
£1,250.00 on our final day of the season on 14 th September.
The photographs show Alan Pearce, a former member of the club who had
been involved in the organisation of the event for many years, presenting the
winners and runners up prizes to a team from Imerys and Wadebridge
respectively. Congratulations to Terry Kellow and his team from Imerys who
wins the trophy again and to Peter Keat, a former member of Lostwithiel and
also a past winner for bringing his team from Wadebridge.

 

The photograph shows the Lostwithiel Team and the team from
Wadebridge who competed in the final at Bodmin with Wadebridge
winning by 20-13 after a tight final where both teams won 9 ends
each. The team for that match was Captain Chris Dimond, John
Berryman, Brian Philp and Morley Tubb. Richard Read played in the
first match against Dunheved. This is the first time in many years
since the team reached the final.

During their B team game against Saltash in June Renny
Fenton, Barry Bowe, Morley Tubb and Brian Philp successfully
gained a Hot Shot during the 28-7 win. The photograph
shows the players with their certificates and they also were
given silver medals by Bowls International. Well Done to all
the team.

Let us first start with the weather which has certainly been
changeable with the occasional nice day interspersed with some
heavy and persistent rain-not the weather most of us want to play or
watch bowls in.
We have unfortunately had two of our male members involved in
falls and we wish them both well and speedy recoveries.
On the playing front the men’s A team has had a good start winning
all three of their games and the B team have recently had their first
win with a 5-0 win away from home.
The mixed Millennium team also had good wins on all rinks away at
Callington and now progress to the next round at Kensey Vale.
We are still in need of some more new players as our Taster Days
were not as successful as we would have hoped despite the
significant local advertisements. If you are looking for an opportunity
to play bowls then contact the club through this web site; you will be
made most welcome.
