Presentation Night Back At The
https://ringwoodbowlingclub.co.uk/news?start=104#sigProId4cf7a97b4d
After a few years away at the Ringwood Conservative Club a good turnout of 52 members had a very enjoyable time, on Friday evening, at the Elm Tree Public House.
Picture quizzes were puzzled over during the 2 course meal of either Fish & Chips, Pie & Mash or Veggie Quiche, followed by either Belgian Waffle or Crumble & Custard.
Presentation of this years Trophies, by our President Frank Senior and Competition Secretary Doug Jones, took place between the traditional entertainment of the Main Quiz, Card Bingo, Higher or Lower and the Music Quiz. The entertainment drew to a close , at the end of the evening, with the draw for the well stocked raffle prizes.
You can view the gallery of Trophy recipients by clicking on the picture above.
