The Open Days, held over the weekend, went reasonably well considering the cold and at times, somewhat, wet weather. The conditions probably kept the number of visitors down with only nine visitors on the Saturday and half a dozen on Sunday. A big thank you to Debbie Senior, Chris Dalrymple and all the members who turned up, over the weekend, to help out.
The first League match of the season saw the Ringwood Ladies return from Moordown with a solid and convincing victory. The result is notable as one rink was won with no shots scored against Ringwood. See below for more details.
This weeks 50/50 Club winner drawn by Anne, one of our visitors on Saturday's Open Day, is number 37, John Stone. Well done again John.

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Mike Miller passed away this morning.
Mike was a renowned, active bowler at Ringwood and an extremely popular member.
Mike was unable to play bowls last year, due to illness, but attended the club regularly to support teams and club events.
He will be fondly remembered by long standing members of the club.
Mike will be very much missed and our deep condolences go out his family and friends.
Details of Mike's funeral will be posted when known.
Kindest regards,
Chris Dalrymple
