The second
BRITISH LEGION
POPPY DAY APPEAL
Saturday September 22nd. 2012
Photos below of some of the supporters enjoying the days event.
The format was the same as used in all of these events: Three
games for each pair of seven ends and the highest scoring pair
wins the trophy to be held for 12 months.
The pairs were made up of a Cleobury Mortimer bowler playing
with one of the none playing supporters of the Appeal. This
worked out very well, by the time of the third match, the
largely
none players had got the hang of bowling and started to put in
some very good shots.
(As they say, it takes 5 minutes to learn to bowl and the rest
of your life to master it)
A special thanks to all of the helpers on the day: The ladies
who provided the refreshments
and helped to serve them, Phil Pack, Lesley Burnside and Dave
Jones for running the match
And a special thanks to Dave Harley for instigating this well
worthwhile event.
The amount raised over the two events run this season raised
£420.00
Thanks to everyone who supported the day.

Forty seven members and guests raised £230.00 for this worthy
cause.
The same format is always used in these matches i.e. a round
robin of 4 games of 6 ends
with the highest aggregate from the four sections playing of the
semi-finals and then the final of 7 ends.
A special thanks to Ron Smith the green keeper of Highley for
keeping the green in such superb condition, Phil Pack and John
Cadwallader for organising the round robin and especially the
