Every year, we have a match early-on between the Captain's team and the President's team. We try to start by ensuring there are a few players of a decent standard on each side to skip and then draw the rest at random.
The trophy (Horton Trophy) was hand carved by John Horton, a local woodworker and is without doubt, our most unique (and I think most lovely) trophy. Sadly, I had to give it up, this year as the President's team won through. Congratulations to our new President, Ted Bolton on a winning start to his tenure.
Once again, John's widow, Peggy, who was one of our regular bowlers until recently, came along with Barbara, Gladys and Marion to make the tea and provided home made cake in honour of the day. We are very grateful to her for continuing to support the trophy day every year and we look forward to seeing some of our former stalwarts. Thanks ladies... it was another good day all round. I very much hope to get the trophy back next year and restore it to its proper place on MY mantlepiece. :)
