Our ladies are through to the final of the SDLBL 4-3-2-1 competition. They play Newton Abbot at Victoria, so no reason why we can't go and support them, on Friday 7th September starting at 5 pm.
Blackwood tourists came like all Welsh sides, to win, but their dragon couldn't save one rink from defeat. Another very enjoyable afternoon with excellent company. https://t.co/lmdObBmQ9M
Great afternoon against the Warwickshire VPs on their tour. Not very good hosts winning on all six rinks. As their captain said, they had one rink that almost drew, only going down by 3 shots.
Club Charity
This year’s charity is the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust who are raising money to plant 3000 trees at Churston Woods. Many of the trees there had to be culled after a tree infection was detected last year.
