TEST YOUR IQ!
The next social night at OSBC will be one of the ever-popular quizzes!
The event is scheduled for Saturday, July the 4th with the doors (and the bar) opening at 5.30pm, and the questions being asked at around 7pm.
There's a new Quizperson in town - "Super Sue Burroughs" - she promises there won't be any medical questions but we shall see!
Entry to the quiz is £10 per person which will include a burger bap with trimmings during the interval. If possible, teams of 4 please but if you are a single, a pair or a threesome then we can always make up teams. Friends and family are welcome. We shall also have a raffle.
Please come along if you are able. We are fund raising as much as we can at the moment as we have a large electrical project to finance. Please email Lesley on lesley.osbc@btinternet.com by Wednesday next week (1st July) for catering purposes, please.
BILLY FRANCIS MEMORIAL COMPETITION
OSBC is holding the Billy Francis Memorial Bowls Competition on Sunday, 5th of July 2026. As many of you know, Billy was a long-standing member of OSBC and is sadly missed.
2025 was the inaugural competition and we are pleased to be hosting it again. Entry fee to play is £5, and places are limited so please contact Martin Francis on 07575 600110 or Tim Robbins on 07545 293249. Monies raised (after prize money) will go to Severn Hospice.
Even if you don't take part in the competition, last year was an excellent day for competitors and spectators alike. Obviously, the bar will be open and food will be available.
It is planned that the competition will begin at 11.00am although we are aware that the 10k run is also taking place that day so there are some road closures that may affect us. Keep an eye out for updates.
COUNTY HANDICAP COMPETITION
OSBC hosted the County Handicap Competition on the 25th of May and it was a great success in the blistering heat!
There were 81 competitors in total with the initial rounds being played on our number two green, the Hump at the Prince of Wales and the green at the Crescent. The quarter finals, semi-finals and the final were played on number one green. The eventual winner was Matt Beeston who plays for Hanmer in the Premier League.
The committee would like to thank all the volunteers who helped on the day - without you the club would not be able to host these competitions, and we would be depleted of much-needed funds. Special thanks to Terry Evans for cooking most of the day in the ground floor kitchen on the hottest day in May, and to those who served behind the bar - the club house is so hot with little ventilation, so well done to them.
