I know you may have heard me say this over the weekend, but I observed some top-quality bowling in all the finals competitions, I am sure there were some England selectors in the crowd on Sunday.
All the finalists had all deserved to be there, and over the last few weeks I had seen many semi-finals games that would also be worthy of any final.
Even if you did not make a final you should all be proud of the way you played in the competition with everybody’s game improving greatly, we are very lucky to have a great depth of players to choose from when it comes to Men’s, Ladies, & mixed games whether in friendlies or competitions.
The weather was excellent, even if a bit too hot, many thanks to Chris for making sure that everybody had plenty to drink with cold water & ice cream available, and plenty of cake.
Thank you to all that helped make it a great weekend, bar staff keeping us all oiled, ladies that sorted out the cake and tea’s, thanks to Les for marking my game, and presenting all the trophies. And of course a very special thanks to Chris and all of his team who were on the green at silly o'clock cutting and preparing it before each day's matches.
It makes me feel that I want to do it all again next year.
With thanks,
Adrian Wilcox

Maybe we should have a prize for the best guess at what is going on here?
It did rain a bit but that didn't deter the hardy spectators.
