Fosseway Bowls Club 2021 Review
Back in April of last year no one was quite sure how our bowling season would work out but much to every one’s surprise we had a fantastic season. We had games or matches every day right through to the end of September. If other clubs were unable to play their match for whatever reason (usually covid related) we would arrange a match between ourselves to ensure that we, at least, had a game.
Both our mens and ladies teams got through to the final of the county unbadged four + four which was a really first class achievement.
The highlight of the year is always the tour and this year was no exception. Forty seven boarded the bus the last week of August travelling to Bournemouth. All four of the clubs we were playing confirmed that they were covid free and were looking forward to welcoming us.
We played all four matches and won all four. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Bournemouth and raised £300 in fines for Rainbows and swelled the clubs coffers by £880 with our daily raffles. A big thank you to John and Linda Gant for organising not just this tour, but also the six previous tours. John and Linda have decided to retire from tour organisation and we wish Chris and Jackie Tressler all the best as they take over the responsibility.
The bowling season was concluded with Presentation Night on the 13th November when all the winners of the various club competitions were awarded their silverware and prizes.
The men’s champion this year is Tom Jordan and the ladies champion is Kath Hope. Congratulations to all our winners.
John Gant takes over as President for 2022 from David Hings and Ken Sewell becomes Chairman. Chris Tressler takes over the mantle of Club Captain. We wish them all well in their new capacities.
