Rounding off the bowling season at Mijas

THE final events of the season at Mijas Bowls Club were the completion of the Handicap Singles.

In the final Tony Thornton beat Paul Griffith in an extremely close match which could have gone either way.

Earlier, in a North versus South contest the Northerners won overall and the prizes went to Peter and Val Allard with Bob Scott representing the north.

Runners-up were Ron and Pam Cole representing the south. The prizes were given by Edwin and Susan Hewitt.

Mijas League players reached the final of the League Cup in which they met the team from Benalmadena; it had to be played on two days, as on the first it rained heavily and the players were trying to bowl through standing water. Benalmadena came out on top. Mijas team did not win, but it was an enjoyable occasion and they were still smiling afterwards.

The Champion of Champions has also taken place. The two representatives from Mijas, Barbara Land and Bill Gregory, did extremely well finishing in second and third places respectively.

Off the bowling green the Annual General Meeting has been held. Ann Fenton who had completed her year as Captain handed over the reins to Carol Wright and Stuart Parkin took over as Vice- Captain. Christine Wilson was re-elected onto the committee, Rob Robinson was elected on again after a period of a few years away from it and Wilf Newman became an absolutely new committee member.
