DING DONG

Last Tuesday night saw the final Ding Dong of the year and both the rain and light allowed us to complete 10 ends. After a close run competition, Keith Meadham topped the table with 40 points with Mark Thurley second on 38 points and Dave Edwards a close third with 36 points.

A total of 60 members played in the Ding Dong over the year, with an average of 27 people turning up each Tuesday.

Our thanks to everybody who participated and hopefully enjoyed playing and socialising with other members of the club, as well as improving your game. We look forward to seeing you next year.

I‘m sure you are all looking forward to the upcoming season, and we thought we would let you know that this year the Ding Dong started on Tuesday 18^th April. This opening date is usefully positioned between the Members Opening Day (Sat 15th) and the friendly v Tilehurst on Sat 22^nd .

It is also 2 weeks earlier than last year. The expectation is that we will play every week until 12^th September, meaning that the Ding Dong will last 2 weeks longer than last year. As we are starting 2 weeks earlier, we would like to start at 6:15 rather than 6:30 for the first 2 weeks, so as to make sure there is sufficient light.

Apart from the extra 2 weeks, there will be no significant changes from last year to the way the Ding Dong is run.

The usual e-mail inviting you to the first match will be sent out shortly after Easter.

Regards

Charlie Gray
