Barry Vaughan's Report on today's Fun Day with Town Councillors and Rugby Club Members.
On a beautiful and sunny afternoon approximately 30 bowlers and friends visited the Club.
Before the start of afternoon the spider challenge was tried by all which resulted in Doug being named winner.
After that 4 rinks of triples were bowled with tuition being offered as necessary to the visitors. It was very apparent that some of the visitors had bowled before and were of very good standards.
After 8 ends all retired to the Clubhouse to a superb buffet which included everything from hot dogs to eccle cakes and victoria sponge.
The bar did excellent service and Debbie and Frank set up and ran a very successful raffle resulting in £50 profit for the Club.
Amongst the guests from the Council included the Lady Mayoress who expressed her delight and enjoyment of the afternoon.
Various members of the Rugby Club have asked to continue the link and the wish to bring teams to bowl at RBC.

It was also good to see Roy Tutt as a visitor to watch the fun.
An outstanding success thanks to the efforts of a great team of bowlers and helpers.
 
You will have noticed that the installation of the Solar Panels, at the clubhouse, has now been completed. The system is up and running and with all this lovely sun is working overtime generating electricity for us and sending back to the grid.
Post installation documents have been sent to the Distribution Network Operator and they will be forwarded to us, following their approval.
Also, the data-logger, which will allow us to monitor the electricity generation and usage, is expected to be installed on Monday 24th June.
I'm sure you will join me in thanking Barry Vaughan for all the hard work he has done to facilitate this venture which will improve and eventually save money for the club.
 
PAT testing in the clubhouse will also be taking place on Monday morning, 24th June, which should not be too disruptive.
