Unseasonably hot and sunny weather drew members out in force for the first one-day competition of the season - the Valerie Smith Memorial Trophy "yardstick" competition.
Twenty-one members took to the green, each delivering 40 bowls to uncentred jacks on five different rinks and scoring one point for every bowl finishing within one yard of the jack, as measured with official "yardstick". Many had not bowled since the end of last season and much hilarity ensued.
Top amongst the ladies was last year's winner, Val Wright, whilst in the men's competition new member Leon Flint finished three shots clear of the competition. President Thelma Stanley made the presentation of the trophy.
