On an uncharacteristically pleasant late April evening, we played our first match of the season; a friendly match away to Woodley. The result was a win for Shiplake. Well done team! Two rinks were very closely fought, with both going in Shiplake's favour. There was a resounding win for Marilyn Mowatt, David Challis and Wendy Cross and a drawn rink, involving Jean Buckett, Keith Walters and Sylvia Blackmore. The final score was 86-76 to Shiplake, winning 3 rinks, losing 1 and drawing 1. |

In our first in-house match of the season, it was Captain v Chairman. 27 of our members made the most of the opportunity to play, on a beautiful sunny day. A good time was had by all, especially the Chairman whose team won by a substantial margin. After the game, there was a shared tea, with food provided by the competitors. Drinks from the bar helped everyone to round off an enjoyable day. The season is under way! |

On a beautiful sunny day, we held the first of our Open Days. There was a steady flow of visitors, with members of the club available to offer help, advice and friendship; not to mention tea and coffee. We hope that many of those who visited today will join this friendly community club and enjoy the many benefits on offer. |

There was a very good turnout for last night's quiz night. Many thanks to Sue Reid for organising the questions and prizes. 30 participants enjoyed an evening of chat, banter and brain stretching, accompanied by questions covering a wide range of topics. We also raised a substantial amount of cash for the club. |

Our Games/Social session was attended by 9 members today. Chatting, tea and biscuits were accompanied by lively games of Rummikub, brain searching Scrabble and thoughtful Dominoes. A lovely way to spend an afternoon. All are welcome to join us. |

On a lovely sunny day, which was surprisingly warm, 6 of us went on a very pleasant 2.5 mile walk. It was muddy in places, but a great way to start the week. |
