On Friday evening, there was much ado about plenty when many of Prattens Bowls Club members took part in a Pub Olympics at the bowls clubhouse.
This was organised by Richard and Lin Brimble, with food being supplied by Lin and friends. Once again, thanks to all for the hard work involved.
The Olympics consisted of two rounds of games which were electronic darts (none of those nasty metal pointed things), table skittles, ball-in-cup (similar principle to the game of beer pong, but without all the drinking), shove ha’penny and shut-the-box, which your correspondent (for one) had never seen before, but proved to be great fun.
The five teams (and their Captains) were selected by drawing names out of a bag so all was, or at least appeared to be, above board.
At the end of the evening, there was a somewhat convoluted period of sorting out the scores before the team which had named themselves as ‘Premier 1’ were declared the winners and awarded their prizes. This team consisted of Chris Love, Malcolm Moon, Hilary Gilbert and Margaret Harvey.
As everyone present had thoroughly enjoyed themselves, we were all winners really and the club made a profit of £112 on the night.
The next social event is the usual Ladies Coffee Morning on February 12th, although this is called the Ladies Coffee Morning, it was clearly stated that men can also attend.
