all look <strong>for</strong>ward to sharing a fun time toge<strong>th</strong>er.<br />
Have you sent in any suggestions <strong>for</strong> next year’s weekend away or had a chat to fellow<br />

INDOOR BOWLS<br />
Last Thursday night, we played bowls in <strong>th</strong>e “Forest Room” – only one word <strong>for</strong> it – “different” playing carpet on<br />
carpet. The speed of <strong>th</strong>e bowls was very slow, anyhow, everybody had a fun night and some, not so good bowls<br />
were played.
