News from <strong>Sheepwash</strong> Ladies Skittles<br />
The <strong>Sheepwash</strong> Ladies Skiles Club held its Annual General Meeng on 11 th May, at the home of Sue<br />
Plummer, in Black Torrington. The club has two teams (<strong>Sheepwash</strong> A and <strong>Sheepwash</strong> B) with members<br />
coming from <strong>Sheepwash</strong>, Black Torrington and the surrounding area. As part of the Holsworthy and<br />
District Ladies Skiles League, the club’s matches take place on Thursday evenings from mid-September to<br />
mid-March, with a break in December for the Christmas period.<br />
The team’s home matches are played at <strong>Sheepwash</strong> Village Hall. Away games take place throughout the<br />
local area, in villages such as Clawton and Kilkhampton. Two matches are played in an evening. There is a<br />
break for refreshments which are provided by the home team for all four teams playing that evening. The<br />
break gives a chance to enjoy some excellent company, partake in tasty snacks, and build up for the next<br />
match!<br />
