In early February, a group of 12 from Maidenhead travelled to Flackwell Heath to play Skittles with friends from South Bucks Circle.Over 30 people played
In the first part of the evening, nine teams each of four people competed.Each person had three bowls per round,seeking to knock down the nine pins at the far end.
In the second part, there was an individual knock out contest , first for all the ladies together and then for the men.Each person took one bowl in turn and on each occasion, they needed to knock down at least one pin.The contest got very tough when eight pins were down and there was only one pin to get. If you missed a pin, you lost a “life” and if one lost all three lifes, one was eliminated from the contest.
Maidenhead players were successful on the night.The team consisting of Eddie, Hilda, John and Pam were the top team and Inga was the top Lady player in the knock-out round..
