Participants at Winter Bowls on Wednesday 5 August 2026 shrugged off the winter chill—and the occasional shower—to enjoy another afternoon of close competition and good-natured banter.
Laughter flowed freely from the highly competitive pairings of Sonia Matteucci and Wendy Adams, Ralph Hounslow and Sharon Irwin, and Fiona Mansfield and Shane Ettridge.
Bobby Rutten once again brightened proceedings with his luminescent beanie, making him impossible to lose in the gloom.
Gareth Lloyd somehow managed to bowl while chewing on his pencil. Fortunately, he later swapped it for a well-earned glass of wine.
Meanwhile, the cold weather kept most of the usual Millswood contingent at home. Fortunately, the ever-smiling Darrin Smith flew the Millswood flag with his customary good humour.
