BANK Holiday Monday saw Crediton Bowling Club President, Joan Martin, host an afternoon for club members and friends.
A total of 30 members played bowls and they were joined by another 20 who came to enjoy the afternoon.
This started with a spider where all those playing took a position around the green.
After a countdown one bowl was released towards the Jack, which was placed in the middle of the green.
Maggie Chaplin was the closest and received a bottle of wine.
There then followed 16 ends of bowls for everyone, which was followed by an excellent tea.
A draw took place with all the funds raised going towards the President’s Charity.
The sun shone throughout and a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was had by all.
Mark Theedom gave a vote of thanks and also organised the bowling activities.
During the week three friendlies brought about mixed results.
In the first leg of the Pat Moon Trophy, played at Topsham, a win by five shots was achieved to bring back for the second leg to be played in Crediton in early September.
A disappointing home defeat to Starcross was then followed by a thumping 127-83 win over Combe Martin.
After four weeks of the Exeter Over 60s League the A team top the table after their latest 6-2 victory away to Madeira A.
The B and C teams lie fifth in their respective leagues after both suffering 8-0 losses.
