A scrappy week for Twyford, with Wargrave cancelling the midweek friendly due to concerns for their green.  Once again Twyford paid the penalty for being short of players, for the 3rd week running although winning the game on rinks, they lost because of KL rules. But a 2nd win against Desborough made it a good week.

KL Division E3 away game against Wargrave on Tuesday evening, 11th June 2109. 
Unfortunately, Twyford were yet again unable to field a full squad, so could only play 3 rinks against their opponents.  They won two rinks led by Phil Rose (32 - 10) and Nick Orde (20 - 17) to gain 4 points for Twyford, but lost the third rink led by Brian Stain (10 - 23), so no points for that.  The match shot score was 62 to Twyford and 50 to Wargrave.  However, under KL rules, Twyford are penalised for not being able to field a fourth rink, so Wargrave are awarded an automatic 20 shots in their favour, together with 2 points for an automatic rink win.  Thus the adjusted overall shot score is 62 to Twyford and 70 to Wargrave, giving them 10 points overall to Twyford’s 4 points.

NB: 2 points for each rink win, and 6 bonus points for the overall shot win.

Finals Week-end 9/10th September.

Twyford held a successful finals weekend despite the wet conditions, with a total of thirteen competitions contested over the two days. 
 The highlight of the weekend was the ladies championship in which Ann Pope staged a strong comeback from 10-3 down to level things up 
at 19-19 before Ann Harris picked up the two shots needed for victory. In the mens championship there was an impressive win for 
Barry Carter against Paul Hynes who led 7-6 at 6 ends before Carter imposed his class on the game, scoring 15 shots over the next 7 ends
 to claim victory by 21 shots to 8. An extra end was required to settle a closely contested mixed triples game which eventually went to 
Nick Orde, Gordon Wheeler and Jean Bennett by 17 shots to 16. The best individual performance of the weekend came from Brian Stain who 
won three of the four finals that he took part in with victories in the mixed handicap, mens two wood and the husband and wife 
competition. In the mixed pairs Mike Self and Annette Stain maintained their unbeaten record in the competition, winning for the third 
time in four years, but were pushed all the way by Mick Kenway and  Kathy Lewis before picking up five shot in the last two ends to win 
by 19 shots to 13. The mens novices went to Terry Thorne by 21 shots to 12 and Carol Hooke took the ladies novices by 21 shots to 15.

                                New Season notes from our club committee

FROM YOUR PRESIDENT

May I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to all who sent cards wishing us happiness in our new home.  Both Jean and I were overwhelmed by the number we received.

I am sure you are all looking forward to the new season and I wish you well.  Just enjoy and be happy win or lose.  Please try and help in the successful running of the Club, in my opinion you will not find a better one.

Let’s have a bumper number of entries for competitions, plenty of names down for matches, good response for fun games and BBQs and, of course, Monday Nights.

Tony Pranglen
Club President



                            NOTES from latest 2017 Newsletter


FROM YOUR CHAIRMAN

Welcome to the 2017 season at Twyford Bowling Club

I look forward to the new season with expectation of you all having a happy and successful season.  As Chairman with a willing Committee I am sure we can.  We are here for you, so contact any one of us if you have any concerns or worries within the Club.

Having looked at the fixtures for the coming season it will be another busy year with plenty of opportunity to play bowls both for the club and in all manner of competitions.

With all the fixtures arranged and the Competitions set up the most important part has to be ready for all these games to be played, which of course is the green.

Since last season our green team have worked all winter to upkeep the playing surface and the surrounds plus a tidy up of the carpark. So I would like to thank them all for their hard work. We have a great green and a great team to service it so please support them and use it and encourage others to join with us. Remember the Club is you, its success or failure depends on you.

The Club has now entered its 81st year so let us make this year a great year.  Support your captains and go that extra mile to help the Club succeed by adding your name to any of the team sheets so they have a better chance to select teams and complete the fixtures.

A warm welcome is extended to our new members.  We hope you enjoy your bowling at Twyford and thank you for joining.  Now you are a member please come and join in as much as you can because the more you play the better you will become.

They say it is only a game and winning is most satisfying, but so is the pleasure of good company and friendship which we have here at Twyford Bowling Club.

I look forward to continued support and wish you all a healthy happy and successful season.

Barry Carter
Club Chairman



COMPETITIONS 2017

Hi everyone. It’s time to consider your competition entries for 2017. Doesn’t time fly? I hope you will enter as many competitions as possible this year. We do need your support to make them as successful as we possibly can, and don’t forget it can only improve your bowling.

We have made a CHANGE TO THE COMPETITION RULES this year. The rule that states that you can’t enter the novices competition after you have been a member of the club for 5 years has been removed, so that it opens up the competition to all members who have not won a singles competition at this or any other bowling club. So please put your name down if you fit this, new criteria.

Over the past two years we have not had any takers for the Benevolent Triples. This competition is open to men only. The winners of this will then go on to represent the club in the county competition in the following year. So it is really important to do all we can to help to send a team to represent us in the county competition next year. We are proposing to make a day for this competition to hopefully encourage some entrants.  We are also proposing to hold a ladies triples competition alongside the Benevolent Triples, to make an enjoyable day for all. This one will be a club only competition, as there is no such competition at county level. The cost to enter these two competitions is £1 per person. Please see entry form for more details. 

I shall look forward to receiving your entry forms shortly. Good luck to all who enter. Remember to arrange your matches as soon as possible and of course enjoy them.

Ann Harris
Competition Secretary



GREENKEEPER

A big thank you to all those who have braved the elements on a Saturday morning through the winter months to assist at the club.  Without these helpers the green and surrounds would not be looking so good.

Congratulations must go to Nick Orde on obtaining his chemical course certificate.

Anyone who would like to join the Green Team feel free to come along on a Saturday morning.  More people are needed on the mowing rota.

Happy Bowling


Phil Rose
Greenkeeper
