On Saturday ten of our club members took part in our first 'Million Pound Skills Competition',
The contest involved five shooting and five pointing skills and was carried out at 6, 7, and 8 metres. 
The top score was an equal 36 points which meant that Peter and Daniel had to play a decider.
Peter won the 1 point to separate the two.

Final Results.
1.   37 points Peter
2.   36 points Daniel
3.   34 points Dan
4.   32 points Richard
5.   27 points Lesley
6.   24 points Roger

9.   16 points Anne
10. 12 points Bev

These results will be carried forward to our next contest to see how we have all improved
after our coaching from Chris!
No-one won the major prize but Peter did get £4 and Bev won a drop of wine to ease her hangover

Visit of Cranleigh Mothers Union

On Wednesday we had an evening visit from the Cranleigh Mothers Union. This turned into an evening of fun and laughter for the ladies. Lots of boule was played until it got dark then we adjourned to the club house for drinks. They have decided to come back again in the Summer when we can take advantage of the warm weather.-

Visit of Regional Coach

We had great pleasure in welcoming Chris our Regional Coach for a morning of  coaching.
This included pointing and shooting skills followed by tactical play.
 All our members both experienced and beginners learned useful pointers from the session.
We would all like to thank Chris for taking the time to give us the benefit of his experience and skills.
