​The day began with teas and coffee at the ‘Saloon Bar’ on arrival and then on to the ‘spider’ where everyone targets the centre of the Green with a single wood all at once, the nearest winning a bottle of Whiskey.  The prize was won by club member Dave Harris who kindly donated it back for another round for more monies on the day. Thank you Steve.

​

Then it was on to the main event of the day, namely the Open Drawn Four’s competition. To continue the ‘Wild West’ theme team name’s such as the “Cactus Cowboys”, “Gold Rush Raiders”, “Cheeky Cherokees” and “Navajo Knights” were allotted.  A total of eight team vide for top spot.

​

During the day the normal tombola operated and at the end of proceedings a further raffle took place.

​

The untypical British weather, sunshine! allowed the day to proceeded without any delays. In fact, it remained dry throughout only becoming a little cloudier in the afternoon after we had all  sampled the excellent chow cooked up on the Bar-B-Que.

​

During the lunch the Club’s President, Tony Carter, thanked everyone involved in supporting the day. Tony also welcomed and thanked Bradley Stoke Mayor, Natalie Field, Phil Francis-Barber - Deputy Town Clerk & Activity Centre Manager and Joe Weston - Director Dunkley's Chartered Accountants (one of our sponsors)  for their attendance during the day.  Phil kindly presented the winners of the day, ‘Cheeky Cherokees' with the Doreen & John Pope Cup  and commiserated with the runners up ‘Gold Rush Raiders’ .

​

Finally, the Club would also like to thank our friends and colleagues at the Bradley Stoke Activity Centre, namely, Bradley Stoke Cricket Club for supporting us with the bar facilities during the day.

​

It now remains to finalize the monies raised on the day and to present a cheque to the primary school with our donation at a forthcoming Friday school assembly.
