At the end of every season we have a party for the players who have participated throughout the year.
   The photo shows the happy bunch who have contributed to the seniors group. Sadly a few are missing
   due to holidays and health issues, they were missing but not forgotten.
   This year Jimmy Lindsay our 'team manager' did a sterling job. The party was superbly organised, as
   per usual, .... soup, sandwiches, pizza, crisps, nuts ... generous bar and of course a few ends of bowls.
   Thanks to everyone who contributed to a lovely afternoon amongst good pals.
