CHALK PENS ARE BANNED !!Following on from our disappointing defeat to Bristol in the quarter final of the Denny Cup, our Ladies fly the flag in the last 16 of the Yetton Trophy this Thursday (4th Feb 10) when Northampton provide the opposition. Your support would be most welcome please.
Congratulations to the Over 60s Double Rink boys who made it through to the semi finals at Northampton on 19th February. It's hoped that a bus will travel overnight and if you wish to go along contact Roger Clark the Over 60s Secretary for full details.
Congratulations also to the following who have made it through to various National Finals:
Geoff Plaskitt - Over 60s Singles
Mace Andrews, Derek Johnson & Mike Smith - Over 50s Triples
Jean Morris & Danny Brown - Mixed Pairs
Finally, it is important to stress that the chalk pens available from Staples are leaving a residue on the carpet and are therefore banned from use in the club. Please use chalk spray or normal chalk sticks only.
Danny Brown
General Manager

First things first, missing cards. L15 v L9 Feb 4th & S19 v S18 Feb 7th . Both games appear to have been played but the cards were not available to me.
Congratulations to the Yetton Trophy team who continue to do us proud. One would not expect to achieve a 40 shot victory at this stage of the competition but that's exactly what they did. The next round is the quarter finals against South Shields at a neutral venue still to be decided.
Danny has won the area National Singles and now plays the winner of the Lancashire area for the right go to the Championships at Nottingham. He and Billy have reached the same situation in the Pairs and with Dean Tute, are hoping to overcome a strong trio in Kevin Rands, Derek Skelton and Richard Monkhouse to make it a hatrick of area wins.
The Ladies continue to dominate the Trudy Bates League enjoying a big win against Scunthorpe. The Over 60s "B" had a 4 rink win at Skegness and now top their division by 29 points. I don't have the results for the "A team, my fault, I forgot to look in my mail box. Our Lincs League team won at Spalding against their "A" team. Despite only winning on two rinks, the all round team effort produced an aggregate win. I understand it was a somewhat dry and hungry afternoon with no bar or catering facilities available.
A highly delighted Jim reports a win for the Mixed League "B" team with three winning rinks skipped by Colin Tomlinson, David Holwell and John Cooper. Thanks to all players for their efforts as it had been a week of many team changes.
Jim also asks me thank all concerned in the friendly on Sunday. On Wednesday he only had enough for players for five rinks, but members rallied round and he was able to field a full eight rinks. Both teams won four rinks but Lincoln edged home by four shots. Our top rink consisted of Bernard George at skip, with Gerard Davey at 3, Mary Cook playing 2 and Marlene Hunt leading.
