ISLE OF
WIGHT 2013
Sadly
we have had to take the decision to cancel this year's proposed
visit to the Isle of Wight.
Although there
is still quite some way to go before the event it was clear that
the bookings were down on where they were at the same time last
year. We therefore felt that it would be better to call it off
sooner rather than later in order to keep any disruption to an
absolute minimum.
Having
said that we are planning to make a return in 2014.
GUNTON HALL
2013
We have also taken the decision to change things up at Christmas
time with a change from our usual visit to Hemsby at year end.
We will be
making a return to Gunton Hall, Lowestoft after a break of 5
years. |

HEMSBY PAIRS
2009
We
now have more than 50 pairs booked in for the Hemsby Pairs in April.
With bookings still arriving
and 6 weeks still to go, it is very pleasing to see that it looks
as if this year's entry will not fall too far short of last year's,
despite the clashing Eastern Counties event that weekend which
has inevitably meant that some people will be unable to join
us.
LAKESIDE

Bookings
for the Lakeside holiday at the end of July have now

CHRISTMAS
2008
There
is now just a month to go before this year's Christmas Break
and the entries are still coming in. We are pleased to say that
have now passed the 50 pair mark for this event.
It looks as if our numbers are going to be a little bit down
on last year, but this was something which we anticipated when
we decided to organise our Autumn event at Gunton Hall, with
it being in such relatively close proximity both in terms of
date and location to Hemsby at Christmas.
HEMSBY PAIRS
2009
Next
year's Hemsby
Pairs,
on the weekend of 17th to 20th April, is going to clash with
the Eastern Counties 'Six Counties' tournament.
Whilst this is not going to affect the majority of our guests,
there are several county players who we know would liked to have
joined us.
Unfortunately the clash of dates is unavoidable, we had our date
booked quite some time ago, on the same weekend as last year's
event, but the 'Six Counties', which was subsequently announced,
has been moved from it's traditional date of the weekend before.
We have done our best to move our date, but it has not been possible,
bearing in mind that we have to avoid conflicts both with other
carpet bowls events and events already booked in at Hemsby.
The booking forms for the event will be available at around the
time of the Christmas Break. |

GUNTON HALL
2008
As
mentioned in the last update, we will have 48 pairs taking part
in the Autumn

at Gunton Hall. So with just a couple of weeks to go it is time
for a final update.
Everyone will get at least 6 games over the course of the weekend,
4 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday morning. This will be followed
by the knockout stages for the top 16 teams, on Sunday afternoon.
As you will know, the venue will be laying on entertainment in
the evenings, but this won't be until quite late on, so if there
is enough interest we be running Bowls Drives (Jumblies) after
dinner.
See you soon. |

already filled all of our places for the Autumn Pairs we have managed to
