SEASON!!
SEASON!!
Wiltshire’s winter short mat
bowls season came to an end on
Saturday last when the winners and runners-up
of the three internal Wiltshire County winter
leagues came together to contest the Stevens
Cup. After the dust had settled Crudwell came
out on top to retain the title. Bromham were sec-
ond and Trowbridge third.
For the eighth time Crudwell won the
County League (North); the Curlews team also
picked up the Malmesbury League championship Crudwell’s Club Captains
and the Knock-out Cup. Joint Captain Anita
Anita Smith & Julia Guest
Smith and Brian Reynolds won the County over
55s Pairs title. Geoff Lane was the runner-up in the County Singles and Anita, Geoff and Brian
were also runners-up in the countywide triples. At the Malmesbury League end of season com-
petitions finals, Les and Pam Baldry playing with Brian Ayres were runners-up in the Triples; Jan
Edel and Mary Tidmarsh came second in the Pairs and Geoff Lane won the Singles.
Club competitions were very competitive as usual. Jan Edel, Jeremy White, joint captain
Julia Guest, Neville Doel, Tony Hill, Anita Smith, Sheila Cornwallis, Mike Lynch and Geoff Lane
claimed trophies. Brian Ayres was the club’s most improved Tuesday evening bowler and Mary
Tidmarsh, the most improved Thursday afternoon player.
Crudwell always welcomes new bowlers, whether experienced or newcomers to our sport.
Help and advice is available. The club plays in Crudwell Village Hall on Tuesday evenings (7.30
-10pm), Thursday afternoons (2.30 – 5pm) and the first Sunday of the month (7.30 – 10pm).
The club has its’ own website if you want more information. Short mat bowls is a skilful, compet-
itive yet sociable game – give it a go – you will enjoy the experience.

Please remember this is a quarterly magazine and it takes a lot of
effort and particularly time to compile all the pages and fit them all
together. In general it is first come first served, so the earlier you
submit an item the better the chances of including it in the next mag-
azine, rather than being rolled over.
As I have previously said, I can only produce a magazine if four pages are complete i.e.
32, 36, 40 and so on as this is what the printing companies want. If I end up with an odd page
or two there is nothing I can do and have to delay inclusion.
I do my best with photographs but only in VERY exceptional circumstances will I include
a photo without a FULL report and out of focus photos will seldom ever be included.
If you are not confident or need some help in compiling an article, all you have to do is
ask and I will do my best. Despite printing the magazine for over 25 years I would not consider
myself to be a professional publisher. At best I consider myself semi-pro but always willing to
learn and help as much as I can. Doesn’t you sport deserve your best efforts?
