It seems that we have some sporting heroes in our midst! The members of Kingsbridge Park bowling club recently held their annual presentation lunch at the Cottage Hotel, during which President John Peckham, and secretary Tina Thomas presented the trophies to the deserving winners. In the men’s four wood, John Hall was the winner but local A.G resident Ron Elson was the runner up. In the ladies two wood competition Ron’s wife Barbara won with Tina Thomas as runner up. In the men’s pairs Ron and partner John Peckham ran out winners, our neighbour also featured in the mixed pairs, running out winners with partner Anita Elliot. In the Millennium Cup Barbara Elson had a win and also Parish Chair John Yeabsley also featured in the competition, well done to all of our local winners!
