The opening evening was as usual taken up
with a “get to know everyone” Bowls Drive,
with Vionne Thornhill, Mark Worrall, Tom
Still & Graham Keeley emerging as the win-

The second event to be completed
was the evening Singles. After two evenings
play, a father and son final was on the cards
but alas Chris Whyte beat Erik Hasker,
Bowls drive Winners Vionne Thornhill, whilst Pauline Nutty beat Chris Hasker.
