Exeter Branch Skittles Evening - The White Hart Woodbury - Sat 10 October 2009

Prior to the main social event, a number of us climbed the steps of the church tower to attempt some ringing. Sadly the 7th was unavailable as it currently has a broken clapper, but we still managed some call changes on 6 and 7 and Grandsire Doubles. We noted that it was a very long time ago that the record for the quickest raise by one person of all 8 bells was set and as with all records, they are there to be challenged!

In a lovely cosy village pub setting, our Skittles event was well attended, with some fierce early evening competition, nearly resulting in a draw! Our menu was an excellent hot buffet - Sweet and Sour Chicken and Beef Lasagne served with rice, crusty bread and salad followed by selection of 2 desserts. There was also an excellent range of drinks available at the bar. Afterwards, we held a quick meeting to elect two new members and then there was a further opportunity to show off our bowling skills with an individual sudden death competition which was won by new member Jenny Young.

Our thanks go to those who helped organise this annual event.
