DECEMBER
The Darts Pair final took place in October, with three teams from Bottesford and one from East Bridgford. After playing a round robin, Val and Sue of Bottesford WI won. The runners up were Glenys and Sharon also of Bottesford WI.
In November we also held our annual Kurling competition at Lowdham Village Hall. We only had eleven teams, which is difficult to run. So Bleasby WI very kindly split into two teams and by chance both teams won their groups and played each other in a very close final. In the end it was Denise and Sara who beat Donna and Bernice Bleasby WI. Well done ladies.
I have found out since last month’s Hornblower that we will be arranging Bridge Day at Rolleston Village Hall, as Oxton now runs a toddlers group on a Friday morning.
The Sports & Leisure team hope you all have a lovely Christmas & a Happy New Year.
NOVEMBER
Our annual Rummikub competition was held in October at Lowdham WI hall. Thirty-two ladies arrived to play against each other. They played five games of 20 minutes each with the two players having the lowest scores moved on. In the end Beryl Northcote of Morton, Fiskerton and Morton WI won with just fourteen points!
We have the final of the Darts pairs at East Bridgford between the top four pairs from the knockout stage. I will let you know the results of this next month.
We will be holding our annual Bridge Day at Rolleston Village Hall on 14 March, so please put this in your diary.
OCTOBER
After a super Summer league of Whist, it went right down to the wire on the last night. But in the end Rita & Heather (Southwell WI) won with 1301 points, very closely followed by Beryl Northcote & Elaine Maiden (Morton, Fiskerton & Rolleston WI) with 1298 points.
In August 25 members and family went Gliding at Dalton near Tuxford and what beautiful weather they had. I was told you could see for miles. Some of them were even able to have a go at flying the glider. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t so good the following week, but, with a little luck, a further 18 had their chance in September.
SEPTEMBER
Around 50 members went to The Dogs in Nottingham early August. There were some members who hadn’t been before, who said they had had a really good night and would be telling their friends about it. They enjoyed meeting members from other WIs, a lovely meal and hopefully winning a little money as well.
The summer Whist league is coming to an end, with the final drive being played at Bleasby on 16 August and I will be telling you who won next month. For those of you who enjoy a game of Rummikub, we have our annual competition on 3 October at Lowdham WI hall, we will be playing to the WI rules, so we are all playing to the same rules. A set of rules will be sent or emailed to you with your tickets. This is to make it fair, as each different company has different rules with their game. We also have our Kurling competition on 23 October at Lowdham Village Hall. Why not enter a WI team.
