Every august Hucknall Rotary
Club hold a members-only Lawn Bowls competition and the winner becomes the
custodian of the Mark Brinklow Memorial Rose Bowl.
Yesterday’s Club meeting was
away from our usual venue of the Horse & Groom Public House, Linby and we
met at the Rolls Royce Leisure Bowls Club in Hucknall instead.
Arranging any outdoor summer
event in England is always a gamble because of the inclement wet weather
conditions we experience. As the time
approached for our meeting, what had been a clear blue sky started showing the
formation of rain clouds.
The early arrivals were able
to practise with Jack Gray bowling the wood close to the jack (shame it was only a
practise!), however within a few minutes the weather changed and we had to
retreat quickly into the Clubhouse. Some thought that my camera flash was a lightening strike!
The rain was unrelenting, so
Plan B was put into operation. The Bowls
competition was re-scheduled for the following week and those present decided
to reconvene to a local hostelry instead.
