 Mixed Friendly Matches

7th December 2019 : Home to Risbygate

We played four triples - winning on 3 rinks. Our bowlers playing for the first time in a friendly inter-club game, certainly enjoyed themselves.

The afternoon was shared with the judo group and so it was quite chaotic at times – but in spite of these distractions, all went well.

25th January 2020 : Away to Risbygate

Once again we played four rinks of triples.For some of our members, this was also the first time they had played at a different club - and they really enjoyed the experience.

We gained one winning rink, one drawn rink,but we lost overall. The after-match tea and biscuits were very welcome.

2nd February 2020 : Away to Wymondham

Our third fixture and once again, enjoyed by everyone.

We won on two rinks and won the game overall by a few shots.

The welcomed refreshments are always well received .

The final Ladies’ Friendly game this season is on hold at the

moment and will be re-arranged as soon as possible.

The format of mixed friendly games has been very well received

and hopefully I will be able to arrange similar fixtures for next season.

Watch this space!

Many thanks indeed to Ann for her invaluable contributions.  Always gratefully received.

Ladies' Friendly -  Home to Risbygate

Monday 21st October 

We were pleased to  welcome the ladies from Risbygate who helped us start our new season.

We played 4 x 3 Triples thanks to the support of our own ladies.

A good win for one of our rinks and it was so good to renew "old acquaintances" and enjoy "a nice cup of tea and gossip".  

Ladies' Friendly - Home to Lakenheath

Monday 28th October

A very enjoyable afternoon. It was good to see "young players" on the green. The visitors brought along six players including one young man.

They all told their captain, Pauline Wright, how much  they enjoyed the experience of a "proper game".

We had two winning rinks - a good day for everyone!

Many thanks indeed  Ann 

Welcome!

Official opening of fourth rink by Thetford Mayor and the Mayoress

Thanks to the efforts and commitment of the Leisure Centre Management and the work of Club Committee officers, the fourth lane was officially opened on 18th September by Thetford Mayor Roy Brame accompanied by his wife, Karen.

The special event was reported in the Thetford & Brandon Times -  thank you Andrew Wallace. A photographic display of the morning's events is available at the Club. Not least, many thanks to Jan Medcalf who gave so much time to organising the entire event.

One immediate benefit of the additional rink has already been noted, with all four rinks in full use at recent roll-ups.

Well, what are you waiting for - do come along - there's plenty of room now!
