BILLY FRANCIS MEMORIAL COMPETITION
Martin Francis gave the following message after this event in memory of his father:
"We held the 2nd year of the Bill Francis Memorial Bowls Competition... again kindly hosted by Old Shrewsbury Bowling Club. Another fantastic day with Dad shining down on us - glorious weather and some top bowls played in a 32 strong field. Most importantly £474 raised for Severn Hospice, which was an improvement on last year.
Well done to Shaun Braddock-Bould for winning the main competition and many thanks for donating his prize money to Severn Hospice. Thanks to everyone who helped out on the day - bar staff Debbie Davies and Sue Burroughs, Terry Evans for doing great food as always, Margaret Ramsey and Debbie Riley who sold raffle tickets all day, my niece Annabel for baking cakes, everyone who kindly donated raffle prizes, a donation from Castlefields bowling club, and Rich Jones for cutting the greens. Big thanks to Tim Robbins who basically organises everything!!!"
It was a hot and long day but the overall result was excellent and there are plans to hold the competition again next year - a fitting tribute for Billy. A thank you to all OSBC members who also helped on the day.
BANDIT COMPETITIONS
See the poster above - for those who don't know these are matches held during the winter period and are played at various grounds in the County.
For the first time in quite a while OSBC are hosting the competition this Sunday 18th and the following Sunday 25th October.
There will two sessions - morning and afternoon - the morning one starts at 9pm so if you want to play then it is advised that you be there around 8.30am to register.
OSBC will be providing food - bacon baps etc., during the day and the bar will be open. Even if you don't want to play come along to watch. At the moment the forecast is for cool but sunny!!
If anybody would like to volunteer to help during the day then please let one of the committee know - help collecting glasses and clearing up is much appreciated
