Well done to all, and to those not selected - your time will come!

Yesterday was one of those days when you arrive home, mentally exhausted but inspired.
First, three members of Oxfordshire Short Mat Bowling Association (two from Charlbury Bowls Club) attended Chipping Norton School and delivered two one-hour sessions of Short Mat Bowling to 24 year 7s and 24 year 8s, to be repeated next week. By half term we will have reached 96 young people who were enthusiastic and responsive.

Then, a rush back to Charlbury, a quick cup of tea, before the monthly hour and a half 'Bowled Over' sessions of Short Mat bowls for members of the local community with memory problems, such as dementia. Five Charlbury members, and our Friends from Dementia Friends Charlbury hosted nine participants. The pleasure all receive is immense.

Oxfordshire Short Mat Bowls tables at Christmas with Charlbury teams well placed.

A lot of fun was had by the juniors from the Broadsword Security Junior Academy who attended our special Christmas ‘fun’ session this afternoon.
With the successful ‘Beat the Coach’ competition and extra donations from parents, friends and family we have today raised an amazing total of £105 to kick off my chosen President’s charity, Medical Detection Dogs! A big thank you to the coaches and to Santa for his visit. Merry Christmas to you all. 🎅🏻🎄 Karen Ross, President, Charlbury Bowls Club.

It is 30 months since we started our 'Bowled Over' sessions for people with memory problems, like dementia, and their carers/family/friends. With support from Denentia Friends Charlbury the coaches and helpers at the club encourage and supervise the visitors who always enjoy the monthly sessions. Our bowlers enjoy our various community outreach projects taking our sport to many for whom it may otherwise pass them by.
Retired actor Sam, from Charlbury, enjoys the bowls sessions, as well as the tea and biscuits. Today was his third time and he described himself as a regular.

We are very proud of our Broadsword Security Junior Academy members. These three, who are also part of the ESMBA U21 Academy , have a joint interest outside bowls that helps to develop them into well-rounded young people. (L to R) Eleanor Brain, Roman Kopinski and Dyllan England. Well done to all three of you. They are involved in tomorrow's remembrance parade in Witney.
