Up

We all met up in the obvious place - the bar - ready for battle to commence. No one was late although Phil and Helen cut it a bit fine !!!
 
We divided into our teams which had been previously sorted by John picking them out of the hat
 
Team 1
Geoff Dutton, Karen Hoxworth, Andy Smith, Alan Smith, Jude Mellor
 
Team 2
Gary Fisher, John Hodson, Lyn Dutton, Geoff Hoxworth, Val + honorary member Raph
 
Team 3
Mel Smith, Karen Smith, Phil Jinks, Helen, Malc Lunn, Tommy Barrett
 
We all bowled our little hearts out and finished the 1st round
Scores were:    T1 = 466,  T2 = 442,  T3 = 425
 
Then we stopped for tea which had been previously ordered and consumed copious amounts of burgers and pizzas as there were 3-4 extra meals served up extra to what was ordered.
This made the usual hungry horaces - (Gary, John and Geoff Hox very happy and content)
 
We then continued onto our 2nd Game of bowling with renewed enthusiasm now we were all fed and watered.
2nd round scores were:    T1 = 374, T2 = 491, T3 = 610
 
Final results after averaging the results (T3 had 6 members) were:
T1 = 840, T2 = 933, T3 = 860
 
Team 2 were the overall winners and were presented with their certificates and team photos were taken.
 
The best lady and gent were: 
Val with a score of  228
Tommy with a score of 252
 
It was a really great evening and thank you to all who came along and joined in the fun
Hopefully we will do it again

And, of course, no Manhoc outing is complete without photos:

Norma and Judy making the awards while Alan and John supervise
Meeting up in the bar - not sure about Geoff - what is he trying to tell us
Then onto the bowling - and John is immediately given his marching orders (no idea why..) but he responds in a suitable fashion.
Then, onto the bowling - as you can see, everything in an orderly, shipshape manner.
Judy works it all out over another beer while the others look on in awe.
Happy people all around. as Andy "pegleg" shows them how it should be done.
And the others try and match his unique style.
Geoff is finally happy
And Karen celebrates with Judy
Then - food !

And back for the second round. As you can see, it doesn't get much better than this
Only one person disagreed.
Finally, the prize giving. Congratulations to all who entered.
