On 25th November we had the Club Annual Lunch. Play started for 25 of us at 11 am (very cold, and windy, but the rain held off …) and while everyone was freezing on the Boulodrome, Cheryl and Thérèse were setting up the Pop Up Shop while Dee and Cynthia were getting the tables ready for lunch. The cooker was giving us cause for concern but we are informed that the Sports Park has received its grant and refurbishment of the kitchen will take place in January 2018.
How did we do? The Pop Up Shop had items made by Cheryl and Thérèse: crochet blankets, knitted Pompom Beanies (with faux fur pompoms!), bootees for children and bigger bods, scarves and various other items for sale with proceeds going towards our shelter (so if it rains we can all huddle in their and keep dry!)
Petanque Players: Rosettes were awarded to Peter Jones for first place, to Steve Gothard for second place and Wendy H for 3rd place John Macland was awarded the Annual Melee Shield. The Pop Up Shop was a great success: we made nearly £200 in the half hour before lunch. Thank you everyone.
Oh, and by the way, if anyone bought a beanie as a gift for someone, we forgot to give you a box to put it in, so see T or C for one. We still have a few beanies, some bootees and some scarves, if you were unable to attend the lunch and want one. And if anyone wants a scarf let Cheryl know before 10th December to give her time to make it. (See the pictures below for an idea of what we have). She has purple and lime green yarn without bobbles on.
