Many congratulations to Ellie on winning the Berkshire County Ladies’ Unbadged Singles at Desborough on Saturday! A fantastic acheivement – well done from all at TMX!

The Club’s annual Ladies vs Gents match was full of fun and friendly rivalry. As it was extremely hot this year we wore casual clothes to help keep cool. We also had a break half way through the game to enjoy ice creams. After the game we enjoyed a delicious buffet tea in the clubhouse and a raffle. Congratulations to the men on a win this year!

We played the Ken Baker Trophy match against Suttons Bowling Club this weekend. In the past this fixture was played by men’s teams, but this year it changed to mixed teams. Congratulations to the TMX team, who won back the trophy this year!

Twenty of our members enjoyed taking part in the Bill Barfoot Open Pairs competition. Well done to the finalists Margaret, David, Linda and Adrian. Congratulations to the overalll winners Margaret and David!

We wish Claire and the Berkshire team every success for the match!

Members enjoyed a fun afternoon at the club, playing a ‘Yardstick’ game. Points were scored for all bowls within a yard of the jack. Congratulations to the overall winners David, Eileen and Sue and runners up, Alan, Andy and Peter. After the game we had a great barbecue, followed by delicious desserts. Thanks to all involved!
