It was a damp start to the season, last week. The first Harry Wright trophy match didn’t take place, on Monday, and the Men’s ‘A’ Team Thursday match was postponed.
On Monday 24th April, six of our ladies played in The B&D Lilian Lynex Trophy at Southbourne. Mavis Hammond and Helen Blackiston won their games to play in the quarter finals where they unfortunately came second. A long but enjoyable day with plenty of wind and rain during the afternoon. Thank you to all the ladies who played and our markers. Debbie Senior.
On Wednesday 26th, the ladies were in action again, at Home against Bournemouth, in the Preliminary Round of the Bowls England, Hampshire Section, Women's Top Club Competition. Ringwood won the Triples match but unfortunately lost in the Singles, Pairs and Fours. Points 1 - 3. Shots 52 - 92.
The League season didn’t get going as well as hoped but well done to the Ladies and the Saturday Morning Triples Teams for winning their matches.

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Barrie Seymour passed away last Saturday after a long period of illness.
Barrie was a renowned and active bowler at Ringwood and an extremely popular member.
Although Barrie hadn't played bowls since the Covid period, he will be fondly remembered by long standing members of the club.
Barrie will be very much missed and our deep condolences go out his family and friends.
Details of Barrie's funeral will be posted in due course.
Kindest regards,
Chris Dalrymple

It's is highly likely that some Club Members, of more that 15 years standing, will remember Alec and Sylvia Wells. I have received the following email from Alec.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to Alec, his family and friends.
Chris Dalrymple.
I am very sad to report that Sylvia Wells passed away on Boxing Day after 2 years fighting cancer. We were members but left in 2007 as the majority of our family live here in Swindon, and we were beginning to get old (67). Please could you inform the aged bowlers who may remember her. I told President Derick on the phone as I remembered his name and saw he was doing what I did for a year. I am sending the funeral details in case anyone wants to come.
Sylvia’s funeral will be Saturday 28th January at 12.00 pm –
Please let me know if you wish to attend as I need to know for catering and leaflets.
