Below are a few photos to give you some idea of the goings on at the Banwell Fun and Games afternoon.
We were very fortunate with the weather which allowed us to get outside.

A big thank you to Trevor and Martina Garfield for the overall organisation
and to Mal and Chris Laycock
for all their cooking skills.

And of course to all the helpers, too numerous to mention who
helped to make the day a total success.

A little piece of news that I thought should warrant being included on the website

The venue - St.Andrews B.C. - A triples match
Kim Burgess and his rink were loosing 10-14 on their rink with one end to go.
But as they say "Its not all over until the fat lady sings" - I have no idea what this means on a bowls green.

What do you know? They picked up a five to win the game.

In the clubhouse a delighted Kim was explaining the last end
down to smallest detail " Minuta pro bono" as they say in Cheddar

"I think this should go on the website" said Kim
"Hmmm perhaps" I replied
"Its worth a club double" said Kim
"On reflection - yes it should go on the website" I replied

Happiness all round
Well done you three on a good last end

Report from our Ace Reporters Pam and Kevin Gibbons who were at the scene and bring you this report

This day at Yatton premiered the debut showing of the Banwell Babes and Belles.

The cast included Banwell Babes - Kim Wright, Wendy Coleman, Jennifer of Yatton.
Banwell Belles - Pam Gibbons, Angie Bass, Pauline Mabbutt.
Executive Producer - Mo Millard.

Other cast included: a bunch of old blokes who were very pleased
to get tea and homemade cakes at the end.

Torrential downpour including hailstones, meant a delay part way through the morning.
But after lunch play began with bowls aquaplaning across the green.

However, the sun came out for the lovely afternoon screening of the show.
Everyone had a great day with our ladies playing fantastically well and being very welcomed by all.

The afternoon was cut short by one game owing to the delay, with the ladies ending on a high.

Both the Banwell teams won their final game.

The Babes won 2 of their 3 matches, including a win against favourites Clevedon Prom.

The Belles won 1 of their 3 matches winning their final game winning 10-1.

Fans said they cannot wait for the sequel at West Backwell in August.

Thanks go to Mo Millard who initiated and encouraged throughout.
Also to our club who gave us fantastic encouragement.
