 PRESIDENTS DAY CELEBRATIONS HELD ON SUNDAY 24TH JULY 2022

Although the forecast for the day was not good, surprisingly there was plenty of sunshine on offer as not for the first time the forecasters failed to get it right. Around forty members turned up for the annual President’s Day celebrations at Subscription Bowling Club on Saturday, to take part in and enjoy the day’s activities. 

A BBQ was in full swing and the bar was open so there were plenty of thirsty and hungry customers taking advantage. There were many sideshows and competitions inside the bower, and out on the green there was a putting competition, target bowls and an FA Cup competition, which delighted everyone when Carlisle United thrashed West Ham in the final and lifted the FA Cup. (maybe this is an omen for the coming season, who knows.) 

The main attraction and a massive money raiser for the club was the tombola with around 80 prizes. The winners were as follows. The putting competition was won by Steven Graham, the target bowls winner was Terry Hullock and the FA Cup winner with Carlisle United was Bryan Steel. Guess the money in the jar winner was Alan Strong, stop the bus winner was Tony Jackson, bagatelle winner was Mary Davis who with two attempts claimed first and second. 

Buttons in the jar had joint winners with Julie Whittle and Janice Atkinson, the cake quiz was won by Rachel Atkinson and guess the weight of the cake also had joint winners with Janice Atkinson and David Whitfield. Single cup cakes along with full cakes were also sold off. 

The President’s Rose Bowl was played out on the green and it was the Lady President’s team who claimed the trophy with a convincing victory over the President’s team. 

A massive thank you to all the members who attended the function, especially Alan Strong and Laurie Inglis who worked tirelessly on the BBQ, also Ann Brown and the ladies in the kitchen, and Anne and Dave Coulthard for organising the tombola. Without these people the day would not have been the huge success it was in helping to raise lots of money for club funds.
