Parkinsons
Event
Last Friday, the 10th of September, members of Parkinson's UK attended
what has become an eagerly awaited event, a chance to see how good they
are on the bowling green. For the 6th year running we were invited to
use the full facilities of the Welwyn & District Bowls Club with
its bowling green arguably the finest in the county.
In spite of waking up to heavy drizzle the sun was shining by the time
that Jenny, who organised the food, together with Club members Sue and
Les put their beautifully prepared meal in front of us. Arthur manned
the bar, and Pauline ran the raffle which produced £50.
By the time we had done justice to the meal, which included homemade
Treacle Tart, the sun had dried the green enough to play. The Green
Keeper, Chris Sherriff had laid out various courses and obstacles for
us to practice upon and provided two wheelchairs with wide tyres for
those who could not bend low enough.
The Welwyn club have a very strong team and have two trophies in the
show case with two more finals to be played. And here they were
allowing us to trample all over their beloved green.
Not only that but Club President Di Barratt and Men's Captain, John Lee
and Club Secretary Mike Poole, together with members of their committee
spent all afternoon down on the green fetching balls which seemed to
have a mind of their own as they head for the nearest ditch.
All too soon the time had come to have a cuppa, pop our pills and take
a rest. For those who gave of their time, a heartfelt cheer, be assured
that we are very grateful to you all.

East
Herts League, Division 2.
Chris Read writes ....
Well done team....we finished the season on a high with a victory over
Bishops Stortford on both rinks tonight, and 6 points.
Overall therefore we finished 4th with 51 points - a very
creditble performance and just a couple of wins short of promotion to
the top division.
A big thank you from me to you all for your continuous support
and enthusiasm. I know I enjoyed it throughout and hope you all did
too. Maybe next year we really can go one step further and win the
division 2 championship.
