Thame Bowls Club Visually Impaired Match
On Saturday 21 September the annual game for the visually impaired took place. There was eager anticipation as the players arrived from places as far away as Newbury, Abingdon, Henley, Amersham and, of course, Thame. After being put into groups, play started soon after 11 o’clock until 12.30 when we all stopped for a sausage lunch expertly cooked by Jo and Barry Green. A further bowling session, occasionally in the rain, lasted until 3pm when we all sat down to tea and cakes, or a glass of beer, with Colin French doing a sterling job behind the bar. Each playing member was then presented with a medal by Les Canfield, Thame Bowls President, with special centenary torches to the 5 blind bowlers. This was followed by our usual 120 square raffle which gave out £70 in prize money. My thanks go to the many club members who helped to make the day so enjoyable and successful.
