Eight teams gathered for an evening of quizzing with a variety of questions to test their knowledge with rounds including a Music Crossword, Famous Women and Numbers. It was not an evening for serious quizzers as there was a lot of joking and friendly banter between the teams. The night ended in a tense finale with the 3 Amigoes +1 team winning by two points. Once again our thanks go to Darren and Marianne for compiling and  running another successful quiz evening. 

Club members enjoyed excellent food and good company at “The Annual Presentation Dinner” that was held at Ilminster Bowling Club. After the meal cups and trophies were presented to the competition winners by our club chairman Clive Champion. Our thanks goes to the Ilminster catering staff for preparing and serving a superb meal, Andy Gready for overseeing the running of the competitions and especially to Lynne Gready and Linda Daly for organising the event. Photos that were taken on the day can be viewed in the Galleries page. The 2023 Club competition winners and runners up are:

Everybody is welcome on Friday evenings from 6pm onwards, this is a great opportunity for us to keep in touch whilst enjoying a relaxing evening with friends. You can come along for a drink and a chat or some of you may even wish to play cards or board games. We look forward to seeing you there.

After a very busy bowls season in which the Crewkerne men’s, ladies and mixed teams performed extremely well in their leagues the green was finally closed with the traditional President’s Team vs Captain’s Team match. A pleasant afternoon was spent with ten triples teams playing in a round-robin style competition. Congratulations to the Captain’s Team on winning the game, special congratulations go to Marilyn Harris, Paul Gersok and Mary Hill for winning all of their matches. The afternoon was rounded off with a marvelous buffet meal supplied by the club members. Thanks to all the members that took part and especially to Bryan Atherton for organising and running the event. As winter approaches we look forward to next year’s bowling season.
