Beating the Weather

Posted 29th August 2023

Blackhand Cyder Club members and guests did not let a little rain stop their participation in, and enjoyment of, the annual Boules Championships held at Mill Farm on Sunday evening.

More than 70 hardy souls braved the soggy weather to attend and 16 teams of three players took part. Despite the, intermittent, rain there was no shortage of laughter and good humour. As usual on such occasions, the shared salad table supported the barbecue activities and some excellent cyder was consumed.

After a number of very competitive matches, the winners of the main competition were “Alburgh Anonymous” (Yan, Denise and Jane), who beat “Pear Mill” (Mike, Matt and Jane) in the final.

The winners of the plate competition for losers in the first round were “Team Osborne” (Lu, Lana and Darryl) who beat “KAP” (Kim, Alan and Phil).

Details of previous winners can be found on the boules page.

As always, great thanks must be recorded to Adele and David for their wonderful hospitality.

Football is Back - Update

Posted 20th August 2023

Last year, as part of the late Queen's Jubilee celebrations, a very successful Walking Football tournament was organised - details can be found in the history section.

It has now been decided to hold another one, on Saturday 30th September to follow the MacMillan Coffee Morning.

Oh No It Isn't!

Unfortunately, due to a shortage of players, put down to a clash with Norwich City's home game, the event had to be cancelled.
