Must confess a bit disappointed with the result at Eaton Socon (2 – 5) but you can still have the week off next Wednesday.
These are the teams for the Final 2 Games of the season – let me know if you can’t play either:

25 August Sawtry Away: Robbo, me, Joe, Paul, Jennie, Ray, Marianne, Bill, Mike P (Reserve: Alex)

1 September Sharnbrook Home: Alex, Joy, Malcolm, Bill, Joe, Tom, John G, Jennie, Ray (Reserve: me)

If anyone fancies helping with a bit of hedge cutting Wednesday morning (18/8), please drop me a line.

Well done to the A Team (quite literally) at Ramsey last week.
The 7 – 0 win sees us a bit more comfortable in mid-table than we were – see below.

The triples for the visit to Eaton Socon on Wednesday (11 Aug) 2pm start, are:

Robbo, Jennie, Tom — John W, Joy, Mike P — Alex, John G, Joe

Reserves: Ray, Keith

There are a couple of enforced changes from the previous list.

A few reminders and the odd update:

• Finals Weekend will be Friday 17^th September to Sunday 19^th September, with contingency time the following weekend (and not on the dates previously advertised).
• The Spoon Drive will be Friday 3^rd September, 5pm start – there will be a separate email on this, giving detail of food, sign up etc.
• Knock Out Competitions are progressing fairly well: we’ve contested 54 matches but still have 27 to play. Please try to settle all finalists in August (have any Ladies Singles matches been played yet?). Results can be seen at http://www.greatbarfordbowlsclub.org.uk/gb-tournaments/knock-out-comps/ Please tell me if these aren’t up to date.
• The new target date for the Aussie League Semi Finals is Friday 20 August, please let me know the results of the rearranged games as played.
• We’ve kicked off the 2021 Online Honours Board with a picture of the Triples Winners at http://www.greatbarfordbowlsclub.org.uk/greatbarfordbowlsclub/memories/2021-season/

Hope to see you soon.
