January

We
saw in the New Year in our traditional way – a few games, a glass of wine with
Auld Lang Syne, followed by some fiddling and first-footing. All time-shifted a little since we’re no
longer keen on late nights. Jay was at
home with us, and we saw Helen a couple of days later, meeting up in
Roger’s
indoor bowls resumed, but the main bowling event of the month was the Overbury
Bowling Club annual dinner on Friday 29 at the Dumbleton Hall Hotel, a popular and
impressive venue for events. The room,
the service and the food were all excellent, and there was a good turn out from
members. A most enjoyable occasion. The only minus point on a wet and extremely
windy evening was the inadequate and ill-lit car-park: we almost literally had to turn the car round
in a rose-bed by the time we got there!
