The Ladies Singles title was taken by Pam Plant, 23
who overcame Kath Hankey in the Final. In the
Men’s event Dennis Leather beat Peter Kelly and
John Downs beat Vernon Slater to stage the Final.
There was level pegging until three ends from home.
John hit a bad spell and Dennis Leather became the
Men’s Singles Champion.
Prizes were distributed and another Short Mat
Season had come to an end. Unusually, this time there
was some doubt with regard to the future of the Memo-
rial Hall. Next year, the Hall is being flattened in readi-
ness for redevelopment. We are assured that next
season should be OK but we may need a temporary
home for 2013-14.
With luck, we should have a new venue for 2014-
Pairs Champions 15. With bowling in mind at the rebuild, we cannot wait
Geoff Dale and Joe Bell to bowl on this perfect surface! For further information
contact West Cheshire and Chester Memorial Hall,
Northwich.

DON’T MESS WITH KIDS!

A little girl was talking to her teacher about Jonah and the whale.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a
human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was
very small. The little girl insisted that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it
was physically impossible. The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will
ask Jonah'. The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?' The little girl
replied, 'Then you can ask him'.
