SOCIABOULES AT KIRDFORD Sunday July 4th

David Lipman reports:

Our Sociaboules on Sunday was very successful, despite it being the anniversary of the day we let America loose on the world in 1776.

We had visitors from Worthing (5), Brighton (2), Adur (4) and Handcross (3) plus 14 of our own players, completely filling our terrain with games of 4 players.

Our Chairman, Paul, came at the beginning to open the play and at the end to distribute the prizes and thank everyone for a great day.

Five games were played in the sunshine, three before lunch and two after, as is the usual system.

The overall winner with +40 was Christine (someone will have to knock her off her pedestal soon or Mike will not be able to live with her!).

Second was Ray from Adur, followed by Melanie, Caroline and David.

Prizes were bottles of wine.

We also gave prizes to the “friendliest” players, one each from Worthing, Kirdford and Adur.

Caroline and Ingrid ran a very successful raffle which paid for the prizes and left some over to purchase more bottles for the future.

Altogether a day that was obviously enjoyed by all. Perhaps we ought to return visit these clubs on their Sociaboules Days.

BETTY’S PLATE Saturday July 3rd

The Winner, Christine Kateley

David Lipman reports:

Another sunny Saturday brought out 28 of our club members for a very competitive morning. It was nice to see more of those members who only come on rare occasions.

Kathy, who is still unfortunately unable to play, sat and watched and presented the Plate at the end of the morning. The overall winner was Christine Kateley, by a full 10 points ahead of anyone else.

The box of chocolates for the friendliest player went to Sue Ross.
