Sunday 2nd July saw two teams of Harrogate players attending the Ripon Spa Gardens Bowling Club Centenary celebrations.

10 teams of 5 players were invited for a one day competition and our teams came 3rd and 6th.

The format was interesting. 5 players per team, with ladies in positions 2 & 4, men in positions 1,3 & 5. Any ladies woods that scored counted double. There were 4 points for a win and 1 point for each winning end, giving 10 points available for each 6 end match.
Ripon provided us all with a very splendid lunch and the whole day was very well organised, with some excellent raffle prizes. Our own centenary is only 9 years away . . better start planning because Ripon has set a very high bar!
