Sponsors Day 31/08/2025

On a warm pleasant Sunday morning, with church bells ringing in the distance and a spitfire flying overhead, we commenced the day of bowls fun with a spider.  All 30 contestants spread themselves around the edge of the green, eager to bowl a single wood at the jack in the centre.  As the bell rang all 30 bowls were released at the same time heading to the centre of the green where one of the ladies from The Beauty Hand & Foot Spa picked up and settled on the jack, winning herself a box of chocolates.

8 of our sponsors entered this competition, and such was the enthusiasm to play that 2 of them fielded 2 teams.  As all contestants were non bowlers, each team were assigned an experienced club member to help and guide them as well as a marker to skip from the head.  

The contest was played over 4 rounds with a break for lunch halfway through, which was a tasty BBQ cooked to perfection by our members, all with food kindly donated by Epayroll UK Ltd.

A team of scorers gathered the scorecards after each round and kept a tally of the scores.   While the points were being counted tea and handmade delicious cakes were served by our social team with a last opportunity to buy some raffle tickets, guess the name of the guide dog, in aid of our nominated charity or guess the £50 note, which was one by one of the TPS plumbing & heating team.

With only 1 point separating the top 3 teams the winners were announced as:-

1st Place = TPS plumbing & heating (173 points)

2nd Place = Sussex IFA - A team (172 points)

3rd Place = The Beauty Hand & Foot Spa (171 points)

Congratulations and well done to all participants, who not only went away with a medal but also great memories of trying something new and knowing that they all played their part in raising £334 for our President’s 2025 chosen charity of VIEW Craft.

What a fun filled day with lots of laughter was had by all and is certain to become a regular event in our annual fixtures.
