Burwash

FLOWER CLUB: Last week I wrote about the Burwash and District Flower Arrangement Club's AGM. Unfortunately my source gave the wrong date. This is not being held until February 16. I apologise to anyone who went along to the hall expecting this meeting on Monday. Instead of flowers they will have found paints etc as the Monday painters club were there. I hope not too many were put to any inconvenience.

BOWLS: Burwash Short Mat Bowls Club have played another match in the Weald League Division Two. They were at home to Ringmer Tortoises. This was a really fun evening with lots of banter between the two teams. The triples, Angela and Keith Marden and Gavin Wood won 25-1 and Joan Howard, Mary Taylor and Alan Green won 17-5. After a noisy tea break, which saw Ringmer take all the raffle prizes, the pairs played with Julie Hawkins and Keith Wood winning 15-5 and Cherry Taylor and Alec Martin won 13-11. This gives Burwash eight more league points. The club have a friendly with Horam on Monday and a league game against Ringmer Hares on Thursday, both at home. We would be delighted if anyone would like to come along and watch the games and learn more about it. Please call Mary Taylor 01435 882107 for more information.
