Another very enjoyable evening. The quiz was set by Liz and John Hatcher with interesting and varied rounds. Preceded by a meal from Wok Chef and an Easter egg raffle to conclude.😁

This season the Club has raised an incredible amount for local charities.

Our Captains’ Day raised £736 for Swanage RNLI, with an additional £100 raised by Mark Critchlow as part of his swim between Studland and Swanage, via Old Harry Rocks.

Our President’s Day raised £1069.72 for the Lewis Manning Hospice.

The bowls drive during Carnival week raised 150 towards the huge carnival amount given to local charities.

Well done and thank you to everyone who contributed financially, who organised events and who threw themselves into all the fun and laughter.

What a couple of friendly matches. Fierce competition and even better sportsmanship! Our club hosted two friendly fixtures against Teignbridge and Beech Hill, and while the scoreboard didn’t fall our way, the praise from both teams was a true victory. Teignbridge brought a formidable side and clinched all six rinks, but the matches were played in such a friendly atmosphere that the final score felt secondary. We can’t wait for the next time we face them to get our revenge!
