Helen, Lana, Cecilie , Rosemary
The women’s team almost caused a boil over against the Carlton Cornwall previous Champion team, losing 11/10...but actually winning 10 of the 15 ends. One ‘big’ end after great drive by their skip made the difference.

Close games!
With 3 teams, one had a bye each round. The final places depended on the last end of this match to see whether all teams would have had 1 win each and play would continue Sunday. However Linda played a beautiful bowl when one down to take the jack back and ensure her team were outright winners.

LEVEL 2 LIMITED PLAY
SEE CLUB NEWS AND NOTICES and TOURNAMENTS for up to date COVID-19 information for Level 2 limited play and Entry Forms for the next few playing afternoons as they become available.
NUMBERS NEED TO BE STRICTLY LIMITED at this stage.
Saturday 23rd May
We had a test roll up of pairs with entries limited. Using our 2 all-weather greens, 16 ends, no mixing and everyone enjoyed getting back this way.
Hand Sanitiser and Disinfectant
WE ALL need to be very careful to stay in small groups on the spaced out rinks and to use the hand sanitiser and disinfectant on the mats and jacks when play finishes.
In these unprecedented times this just seems very appropriate.

Some of Paul's helpers
Have you ever wondered about Trevor Arthur Kemp ? There is a plaque presented by his parents on the flagpole we walk past each time we go to the lower greens.
His name is also on Flagstaff Hill on the memorial to local men killed in both World Wars.
Pax took him a birthday cake.
Many of you will recall Mark Griffiths being in hospital for months after an accident.
