Isle of Wight "Tour"
Fourteen members of the club crossed the Solent for a bowls tournament at the Warners Bembridge Coast Hotel.
We had three rinks entered in the competition, each playing three matches. Although no-one reached the finals, there were some excellent matches. Bowls wasn't the only sport on the agenda, with everyone participating in golf, table tennis, snooker, darts and (not forgetting) Jenga!
The weather was marvellous, as was the hotel food.
We also won two quizzes, earning us a fridge magnet and keyring.
Our last day included a visit to Osborne House, which was well worth the visit.
A few photos from the trip can be found here.
