Branch Event
Skittles Night 7th March 2009
Rising Sun Frampton Cotterell

It was a good evening organised by Chris our chairman and his wife Gill. We had about 36 people sign up and a couple more turned up on the night.
Whilst the skittling took place Hannah and Domonic were the stickers up  and did a very good job apart from Domonic  using his phone and texting whilst play was
in progress. We managed three rounds of skittles with an intermission for food and drinks after the second round. There was a lot of mingling and chat going on
during the games and from the reports to date everyone had a very pleasant evening.
As always their is a winner and the losers, Peter Johnson of Tytherington had the highest score and the ladies highest score went to Lyn Angell, there was not a
a lowest score prize but there were lots of contenders competing for that prize.
As I said before a very good evening well organised and executed by Chris and Gill who were thanked by the secretary as well as thanking the
two people who worked all evening sticking up the skittles Hannah Fowles-Sweet and Domonic Hardwick.
The pictures above are of Brian Angell without his hat having just bowled, and Chris with some of the bowlers buying there raffle tickets.
