CARD SECTION: The Inter club games have concluded with an exciting finish. Many regular players were not available for the last three games of the competition, so our new players have stepped up and excelled for Woolston to come 2nd overall, bringing home both the travelling and aggregate trophies for the Club. Thanks must also go out to our regular players and the Cards committee. Cards are fun and new players are welcome along on Tuesday night. Card Section President, Norm.

FISHING SECTION: The season kicks off in October for the start of the trout season. A reminder that Take a Kid fishing is on at The Groynes on Sunday October 20 with a 9am start.. There will be plenty of keen fishing people there to offer advice and prizes available for the kids.. age limit is up to 12 yrs old. Recently we had a night out to celebrate some birthdays amongst us and it was deemed a good night by all. We feel we are getting just a wee bit older as some of us are getting the grandchildren joining the section and that has 2 ways of looking at it..we ARE getting older or it's safe to say the Fishing Section will continue with the younger members coming on board. Roll on October so we can get out and challenge our skills once again, and there’s a trip to Otematata to plan for in November. QUOITS SECTION: Quoits has started again for the season. We had the Open day for the Richmond Quoits section at Woolston on Saturday 24th August. We couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise to play. Everyone played great and enjoyed the day. There were 3 ringers on the day. Richmond will be playing at Woolston again this season and until their pitches are in place again at the Richmond Club. We are very happy to have them with us again. The pairs were drawn out of the hat and the winners on the day were Dave Cox and Peter Forde, congrats to them. Our Open day is on Saturday 7th September and if we get the same weather it will be great. Anyone can come along and see what we do and new players are always welcome. Unfortunately the Ashburton club will no longer be playing as their numbers have gone into decline. It is hard to get new players but we will keep going as long as we can with the 16 players we have just now. It's always an enjoyable day with lots of laughs and a few drinks of course. We are very sociable. We will be playing outside behind the Sports Hall on nearly every Saturday until early May next year. - Suzanne 50
