HORADADA BOWLS CLUB BY IRENE GRAHAM Only one match to report on this week as we are now at the end of the winter season. Win or lose the weather has been really kind to the Bowlers this winter with very few bad days. The Falcons were at home to Emerald Isle Moonrakers and we were all very well aware that we had to produce the goods. All but one of the rinks had really close results with the lead going back and forth a few times. An exciting morning with the Falcons coming out on top. We won on 3 rinks lost on 2 and it’s thanks to one of our rinks that secured us the overall shots. Our winning rinks were: Irene Graham, Janet Jukes and Barry Evans 13 – 9 Wayne Jackson, Les Davies and Mick Kirby 23 – 8 Tracey Paffett, Ken Barber and Roy Thomson 17 – 14 The final score being 83 shot for to 66 against giving us 8 points to 4 against. Very well played to all of our team, we each played our part in helping the Falcons to move up a place to remain in division ‘B’. We are equal in points to Quesada Rubies, but we just managed to pip them at the post on shots. The Royals with their last match result also moved 2 places up the table to finish in 7th place, only 1 point behind 6th. We are a small membership club and to remain in the ‘B’ division for both the leagues is an excellent result for us. Again very well played to everyone who has played throughout the winter season and a special thanks goes to our Team Captain Peter Davis and Vice Captain Ron Odell for their efforts in putting a team together. We know it is not an easy task. Have a restful 2 weeks break Team Horadada and we will start all over again for the summer leagues. Keep em’ bowls a rollin’. EMERALD ISLE BOWLS WITH ELWYN MORRIS Sunday brought our Irish friends from The Gate/Crumlin to the Isle and the game was played in a fantastic spirit and this year the Isle came out winners 5-1, so they take the Trophy.

Friday Flashback Real Wedding: Rock & Roll Carnival Wedding – Tanya & Kev

Good morning Cwtchers!!!! We thought as we are celebrating our 4th birthday this week we would do a throwback Real Wedding post today to one of our first ever ones done all the way back in February 2013!! Grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy this wonderful carnival wedding…

All photos in this post were taken by our very own, award winning Maria Farrelly :) (who did not write this bio herself!) Maria is located in Newport, but is always willing to travel. You can see all posts featuring her photography here.

Tanya (a student teacher) and Kev ‘Paps’ Papworth-Morgan (a guitar tech with the Welsh rock band, Bullet for my Valentine) got married on the 1st of September 2012 at the Bridgend Registry Office, with their reception at Hi-Tide in Porthcawl. They decided on a carnival wedding theme, which featured a drinks reception from the boot of their cars, donkeys, candy floss, fairground rides, penny slots and hawaiian shirts! We asked Tanya a few questions and this is what she said:

What was your favourite part of your wedding? The fairground and amusements. Seeing all our friends get stuck in and laugh all day was just as I imagined.

Why did you choose your venue? For the views over the beach and the fantastic food. Plus I didn’t want my guests to have to pay silly bar prices. Had they charged a ridiculous price for a glass of wine, we would NEVER have had the wedding there! I wanted all of our guests to feel comfortable, regardless of money, race, religion etc.

How did the proposal happen? (we love a good proposal story!) This is the most unromantic thing you would have ever heard. I basically got bored of waiting for Kev to propose so just told him it was time to get engaged. I picked the ring, took his bank card and paid for it. Then I gave him the ring when it arrived and asked him to give it back to me. He said ‘please put this ring on. Urm, I love you.’ That was it. He does tell me now that he regrets not giving me a proper proposal but it’s not a big deal to me!

Any DIY stories/tutorials you’d like to share? Lots of it was DIY! My bouquet I made by using brooches from ebay and a tutorial from youtube, the name stones were pebbles that I wrote on, glittered and then varnished and I made the card box from images from Google! I wrote all the favour cards and used a heart hole punch to make them look prettier. I made the table plan too after seeing the prices people charged for something that was not going to fit my theme. Most of the signs were also made by me!!

What was your first dance & why? King of The Swingers from Jungle Book. Kev played this on the ukulele in a gig and then a friend remembered and it just fitted the people that we are. We don’t have a romantic song and are really not a soppy couple so something that would make people smile was totally fitting. Kev dancing like an ape was a surprise to me however!!

In hindsight, was there anything you would have done differently? I would totally have a change of dress for the evening. I was so tired and the dress was heavy. Had I had some jammies, I would have lasted longer!

What was your budget? Our total spend was £9000. This included £4000 on the wedding bands (I HAD to have those diamonds!), the photographer’s fee and my dress. £5,000 on everything else, Bargain wedding!!

Do you have any advice for future brides? Don’t stress about the small things. If it’s not perfect, you will be the only person that notices. Your friends will just be delighted for you both. Try not to get too ‘weddingy’, having a simple wedding made it more fun and less stressful. 9 times out of 10, you don’t need half of the things you see online!! Enjoy your day, but don’t feel the pressure of having the best day of your life. Mine was incredible but the days afterwards were better than the wedding day, just looking at my new husband made me smile!

Costa Blanca South Bowls Roundup 24 Nov 18

El Rancho Bowls Club Having had all Monday’s league matches postponed, we played the first of the on thursday, that being the Pintos at home to Greenlands Sycamores. The Pintos found the line and length a little quicker than the Sycamores, as you would expect and took the 5 rinks and hence the overall shots. Ann C Taylor, Diane Yates and David Whitworth 21-11. June Whitworth, Sheila Cooper and Carolyn Harris 20-16. Malc Sykes, Denise Morgan and Jim Gracie 30-10. Irene Thomson, Bob Morgan and Eddie Thomson 32-9. Brian Harris, Keith Cunningham and Bob Taylor 21-12. Friday morning found the Mustangs at San Miguel against the Bulldogs, who proved to be strong opponents, particularly at San Miguel. Although we came away with just the one point we played well, as well as the drawn rink we lost two by just one and two shots. Meanwhile the Rangers were at home to Emerald Isle Roundheads and took 2 rinks, lost one by just 2 shots and won the overall shots, a worthy result. In the Afternoon the Broncos played host to San Miguel Boxers and played very well to win 2 rinks and draw two others, also taking the overall shots by an appreciable margin. Graham Day, Sheila Cox and Mike Cox 39-12. Steve Ziepe, Pam Harris and Brian Harris 14-14. Peter Blackburn, Suzette Ziepe and Rob Clark 12-18. Barbara Jones, Jan Bright and Geoff Jones 24-12. Ann C Taylor, Denise Morgan and Bob Easthope 15-15. For further membership information contact Sheila Cox at [email protected] or Brian Taylor on 9654077093 or at [email protected] Emerald Isle Bowls Club by ELWYN MORRIS The bowling week in Sunny Spain was delayed this week and we started on Wed with Winter League game at La Siesta.

The weather was kind to us and the forecasted rain stayed away for the duration of the match. Looking across the rinks and seeing the home team build up their shots was impressive. This was the Royals at their very best. We won on all 5 rinks and gained the overall shots. Only one rink was a close match. Our winning rinks were: John Goddard, Mick Kirby and Barry Evans 16 -14, Tracey Paffett, Wayne Jackson and Terry Hucknall 24 – 9, Carol Linehan, David Allan and Sheila Westwood 27 – 6, Irene Graham, Alan Miller and Bryan Eatough 27 – 7, Ken Barber, Les Davies and David Bracken 36 – 6 Very well played to each and every one of the team and a special well done to our new players Sheila Westwood and David Bracken. We needed those well-earned points and it has placed us in 5th position just 2 points behind Monte Mar Matadors. Monday the 19th our home match against Monte Mar Torreadors was cancelled due to bad weather. This match has been re-scheduled for Tuesday 27 November. On Friday 23rd we were away to La Siesta Golds but unfortunately we were unable to keep up our great result of the previous week. Two of the rinks were quite close in shots and one of the rinks didn’t actually tell the true story of the match. Horadada played well but La Siesta was better with any of the’ luck’ going to them. We won on two rinks and lost on three giving us 4 points to La Siesta’s 8. The overall shots went to La Siesta. 70 for and 98 against. Our winning rinks were: Carol Linehan, David Allen and Sheila Westwood 21 – 9, Tracey Paffett, Wayne Jackson and Terry Hucknall 19 – 15 The weather was kind to us and the rain of earlier stayed away. A good, friendly atmosphere was enjoyed by all. Come on Team Horadada, keep ‘em bowls a rollin’! Horadada offers a warm welcome to new or experienced bowlers, and provides the necessary equipment. Our roll-up days for this friendly club are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings. Please contact Fred Trigwell on 659 139 129 for more information. La Marina Report by Barry Latham This is a good ending for last week as this week hasn’t started yet because of all the rain and floods. Southern League Div A the Ospreys at home against La Siesta Blues and we had a good win by eight to four. Pete Parsons, Wendy Latham and the Anne Stone won 20 – 11 while Alex Whyte, Jim Reeves and Kathy Manning comfortably beat the opposition 27 – 16. Not to be outdone Shirley Hadaway, Phil Pape and Margaret McLaughlin won by four shots. In Southern League Div C the Merlins chopped down the Greenland Elms by 8 points which pushes the Merlins up into fourth place. John Rae with that Dave McGaw and the ever ready Reg Jackson secured a 30 – 14 win. Top rink. John Morgan, Mike Lowe and Dave Taylor came away with a 26 -14 win and Barry Sadler, Paul Tregoing and Alan Wilcock also won with a score of 19 – 16.. The one and only Dave O’Sullivan coasted to a 18 – 8 win with help from Garth Slater and Desna Lowe. Rain stopped play on Monday in most places, floods or leaks everywhere. I was at hospital in the canteen where they were using saucers to catch the water dripping through the roof. For the Winter League we travelled up to Benitachell and got thumped 10 – 2 but it wasn’t for the want of trying. It could have been easily 10 – 6 to them but for my pet moan and groan……the last three ends. Our only winning rink was the Old Man’s rink of Terry Perchard, Jean Perchard, Barbara Forshaw and Mo Kidd. I sat and watched the game and was well entertained by Marilyn and Lorita. I shall be able to knit and sew at the next game. We often say that the best part of Winter League is the meal and camaraderie afterwards and it certainly was. Friday in the Southern League the Merlins were at home to the Vistabella Swingers and it turned out a good result for the home team 9 – 3. Mr Withers took his rink to a 24 – 12 win so well done to Arthur Cronk and Marilyn Fryatt. John Rae is keeping up his great form with his other two of Dave McGaw and Reg Jackson winning 22 – 15. Still unbeaten. Dave Hadaway, Paul Tregoing and Trevor Hancock also won with a 19 – 12 score. La Siesta Bowls Club By Rod Edgerton A washout on Monday in the Voyager Division and Enterprise Divisions due to overnight storms will give all club representatives the difficulty in rearranging matches in the days to come. Our Winter League team entertained Emerald Isle and liitle change from results recently with the only winning rink coming from Doug and Fay Beattie with Bill and Sue Jordan winning 18 shots to 10.The overall shots for the match went to Emerald Isle114 shots to 60. In the Southern League A Division the Blues travelled to Emerald Isle Cavaliers The Golds in Division 5 entertained Horadada and won by 98 shots to 70 picking up 8 points. The winning rinks for the Golds came from Fay Beattie, Norman Adcroft and Val Dalton winning 30 shots to 12 whilst wins also were provided by Gordon Dall,Tony Campbell and Rab Logan winning 27 shots to 6 and Barbara Cooper, Irene and Dave Laverick won 17 shots to 12. The Silvers in the C Division were visited by Greenlands Cedars in an excellent match won by the visitors by 91 shots to 77.

San Miguel Bowls Club – By Gail Willshire A shorter report this week as only one match was played on 19th across the whole of the South Alicante league – Beagles away to Monte Mar Matadors. With just a few drops of rain in Gran Alicant, the Beagles excelled to win 11 points to 1, 111 shots to 54. While all teams did well, the best rink, with an impressive score of 33:4, once again belonged to Margaret Patterson, John Raby & Stuart Denholm. The Winter League team played 2 games this week. The usual Wednesday game saw them go up north to El Cid. They came away with a just 4 points, 77 shots to 87 but the result does not tell the entire story with two rinks losing thanks to the opposition’s last bowls. The 2 winning teams were Ian Robertson, Brian Allen, Val Hignett & Lin Miller, 18:14, and Allan Patterson, Bob Graham, Johnny Raby & Carol Broomfield, 19:15. The team then played again on Thursday afternoon, home to Quesada. The squad certainly seemed to enjoy this, as the result was a great win, 10:2, with the losing team missing out by just 1 shot. The best rink this time belonged to Noel Davis, David Johnson, Gail Willshire & Fred Willshire, 26:11. On Friday, the Bulldogs greeted the El Rancho Mustangs and gave them a bit of a mauling, 11:1 and 109 shots to 76. The top trio was Meg Brownlee, Reg Cooper & Lynn Greenland who had a great win 26:9. The Boxers, unfortunately couldn’t match this result, away at El Rancho, facing the Broncos. With a win from Margaret Mackney, Frank Scotthern & Jack Jackson, 18:12, and two draws, the team came away with 4 points, 71 shots to 104. A reminder that the Wasps sessions take place Wednesdays 1:30 for 2:00 - €5 for an afternoon’s bowling with shoes and woods available to borrow. Due to the popularity of the Wasps, first time bowlers are now asked to attend an initial coaching session on Tuesday afternoons, starting at 1:45.

Brooks, Scott Malden 18-14, Mary Fromson, Harry Epsom, Sue Ross 21-19.

As there has been so much speculation and discussion about SAN LUIS BOWLS GREEN hopefully this will explain the current situation:

“When Vic announced that we were to have the base done, a new underlay and a new carpet, as discussed and quoted for by the Greengauge representative, we all had high expectations of a great playing surface to be the “flagship” for them, of what they could provide.

Unfortunately, this has not been the case as the base has shown to be “not suitable for purpose”. The Company, commissioned by the Greengauge representative, after much discussion via Julian Pering agreed to try and rectify the matter f.o.c.

In order to do so the carpet and underlay had to be unstitched and lifted and then when the base was done relaid, and restitched – AT A COST – through no fault of Vic’s. Greengauge were not prepared to give in anyway at all saying the base was not within their remit, although their representative had been involved with “providing” the company.

Vic has decided NOT to have any more work done on the green FOR THE TIME BEING. We have a good carpet and underlay but unfortunately the expectations of a great playing surface has not been met. BUT it is still perfectly playable and no worse than certain rinks at other clubs.

So, let’s just get on with bowling and enjoying our matches and each other’s company and show what a great club we are.”

La Marina Report by Barry Latham

Last week we beat the VCL League Leaders and this week we upset the number two by beating San Miguel at our place 10-4. The togetherness continued for the Parsons, both Janet and Peter played the Singles and won 21-17 each. Isn’t it lovely? Captain Colin Armitage, Martin Butler and Lynne Armitage had a tight game but came out the winners 14-12. Last (Well, off the green.) but not least the rink of Barry Latham, Wendy Latham, Mike Smith and Barbara Forshaw had a good win by 18 to 13. The overall shot difference was very close, we got it by one. We might still be last in the league but we are at the moment upsetting the leaders. May it continue!!!! When I arrived to watch the Pilots I was told as we walked to the ground we were down on very rink bar one. Obviously it must have been our cheering and ribald comments that spurred the Pilots to eventually chop down the Greenland Gladiators. Good to see a lot of our friends from our old club but even better to beat them 10-4. Close all the way though but gradually La Marina took over. Mike Smith, Peter Bailey and Jean Tregoing plus Terry and Jean Perchard and Reg Jackson both pulled off creditable draws. Dave Taylor, Tom Spencer and Mo Taylor had a good win by four shots. And the Hadaways are back ……. to form both winning. Dave, Arthur Cronk and Dave O’Sullivan won 20-15 and Shirley, Steve Hindle and Carol Smith won 25-15. Two cracking results this week so well done Captains and Selectors who get a lot of stick at times.

Don’t forget if you want to join our happy little Club you can phone our Captain Steve Hindle on 966184360. Don’t worry if you have never played before we can lend you all the kit you need plus some coaching.
