Ninfield Bowls Club: Ninfield Bowls Club have not fared so well in their latest games. Maybe the shock of summer making a return has put them off their winning streak!? They played Pett on September 4, loosing 44-58. They played Hampden Park on September 7 with a loss of 57-68. However, a club get together for their Finals Day was just the ticket with the results as follows: Ladies Singles winner was Audrey Beale, with Sue Haffenden the runner up. The Gents Singles winner was Norman McCubbin, with Brian Cockett as the runner up. Brian Ocbourne won the 100 Up, with Norman McCubbin the runner up. The Novice runner up was Graham Richards, with the winner being Roger Saunders. And finally the pairs winners were Norman McCubbin and Linda Bosden, with Brian Osbourne and Ann Long runners up. A lovely day was had by all.

During the last two years their committee member, Andy Hamblin, has been completing the research of the history of his property. He has now an almost complete history of over three hundred years. The detail includes the building and those who have lived there and their occupations. Andy started his research from scratch and had to learn how to carry out the work by trial and error. Now he knows how to do it, he is prepared to share what he has learnt along the way. So, the Hooe History Society invites you to come along on September 18 to learn how you can start your own research! Andy has prepared a comprehensive presentation and will be on hand to give advice and answer questions. Andy will also be bringing his home’s ‘time line’ to the meeting.
