Thirty Four people turned out to play in our Open Day – 16 from PW and 16 from the Thames Valley Clubs. A bit disappointing as we can support 48 players, but many people were away on holidays and the bank holiday was looming! It was very hot and extremely windy! Luckily we were playing with steel boules so the wind had no influence on the games.
We held an 'individual melee' and had a lot of fun. The traditional Open Day Dotty Trophy was awarded for the 1st prize, with a bottle of Prosecco and medals & wine prizes (it was the final day of the Olympics after all) were awarded for 2nd 3rd and 4th places, while 5th and 6th places received a Towel to keep those boules polished.
The winners were:
1st place: Chris H of PW - Dotty Cup trophy (4W1d+16); 2nd place Eric of MTTA, Marlow (4W1L+39); 3rd place Wendy H of PW (4W1L+21); 4th place Louise of Burnham (4W1L+15); 5th place Stuart F - Independent (3W2D+25) who he lives in Oxford and thinks he lives too far away to join! (We have 3 members from Oxford …) and 6th place Charlie of Winnersh & Wokingham Wanderers (3w1d+23). Seems pretty close to me! Looking forward to next year!
Lets hope for a fine turnout for our next OPEN event this year: evening of the 14th October Fundraising for the RLNI (email me if you want to come to make sure there is space to play).
