2024 Finals Weekend Report

As you know the finals weekend just turns up in September each year as does the super playing surface, how this happens I just don’t know.

Just before the weekend I changed the Thame weather provider, which ensured that we had perfect bowling conditions.

All the finals from Friday through to Sunday afternoon where all super games to watch, I had bets with Coral’s on a lot of games but pulled my bets halfway through as I could not read how each game was going to go. The capacity crowd were treated to some top-class bowling, I think the committee may have to think about building a stand and charging entrance money next year. Tony even had some of his family over from New Zealand to come and watch him win a couple of trophies.

I have to thank all the people who took part in all the competitions, the people who gave us the best green in the district (Chris, Jesse, Barry, John, Peter, Peters Grandson - Will, and all the people who look after the flowers and surrounding area. Thanks to the people who manned the bar (most importantly).

I have a feeling that next years competitions will have a lot more entrants, so get your game played early (he is moaning already).

The list of winners is below but please note that we were unable to play the Walker Cup as sadly John had a fall and will not be able to play for some months. The plan is to play this final in the early part of next season.

Thanks to all again, I enjoyed the weekend very much.

Rgds,

Adrian.
