March 2025 Meeting

We met on Tuesday 4th March for the popular Skittles Evening with Supper, at the Royal British Legion, Limpsfield. 21 members arrived to compare their skittle skills. Names were picked randomly and 5 teams were quickly organised, namely: Pilgrim, Firebird, Dropkick, Titsey and Crumbs. Beer afficiandos will recognise the team names as local breweries. 

After 6 rounds, the eventual winner was Crumbs, comprising Janet, Mary, Pat and Francis on 140 points, and leading by 16 from Pilgrim. The winners received products from the local breweries.

The player with the highest individual cumulative score was Mary with 46, well ahead of the chasing pack. Brenda was 2nd on 36, and Janet and Francis, 3rd equal on 35. The highest score in a round was 11, achieved by Mary, Brenda and Derek L. Supper seemed to have a positive effect on performance – the average score for the 3 rounds after supper was 8% higher than before victuals.

Many thanks go to the British Legion for the welcome, venue, bar, and for a warming and plentiful supper, to Graham and Caroline who organised the scoring expertly and the prizes, and Graham B for some of the transportation.

Our next meeting is a musical evening with Paul Stanworth on 1st April. Please contact Janet Bailey (822333) for further details.
