Woo-Hoo

​

On Friday the 20th of September several members of the bowls club went back to school!

​

We visited Bailey's Court Primary School to present our donation to them from the proceeds of this year's Captain's Day, a sum of £400.

​

Our visit and the donation had been kept a closely guarded secret from the children and their teachers who were surprised and somewhat bewildered as to why a group of adults in bowling attire were facing them at their Friday afternoon assembly.

​

Deputy Head, Sophie Elliot then explained to years 3, 5 and 6 who were in attendance why the visit was being made and between us we gave a short overview of what Captain's Day was all about and showed some of the equipment used in playing the game of lawn bowls.

​

The sum raised was then displayed on screen and a rousing response to the amount made by the children in gratitude.

​

It was explained by Sophie that the monies would be put forward to purchase additional sports equipment for the school.

​

The children then performed an excellent rendition of Kool and the Gang's song 'Celebration' with a lot of very loud Woo-Hoo's* , hence the title of this piece, before their assembly ended.

* You may need to remember or listen to the song to understand this!
