The week started with a Coronation Cream Tea on the Bank holiday monday which was very successful and raised £150 for charity which, in this case, was South West Children’s Hospice.

On Tuesday the Ladies team played at Paulton and won (2 rinks to 1) and overall but things went downhill from there. Thursday saw the Ladies play again but on this occasion lost to Keynsham Ladies. This was followed by a mixed game (also at Keynsham) in the Tony Alcock 2 rink tournament but Prattens lost heavily. Keynsham Mens A team were the opponents for the Mens team on Saturday and Prattens lost on all 3 rinks. Last season Prattens Mens team were promoted in the Somerset County League so the games are going to be tougher this year especially as we have less players than we did last year.

We still have room for several more new members so if anyone else wishes to join the club (or discuss joining the club) please contact Barrie or Pauline Dando on: 01761-412705 or come along to the club evening on Monday evenings from 6pm where you can take part in the wonderful game of bowls.
