Yatton and District Summer Skittles League
50th Anniversary Year
Sponsored by Cladanco

Our 50th Anniversary Presentation Evening was another huge success.  Many thanks to everybody who came long and made it such an enjoyable evening.  We have shattered our own record for the income collected, including from Raffle Ticket Sales, Skittles Competition and everybody returning their prize money (incuding winners of the Skittles Competition Clint Harding and Sue Tucker - £50 each), we collected a staggering £1,039.  

We presented four cheques of £1,250 to each of our chosen Charities.  Thank you to Amy from Jesse May Trust, Maisie from Weston Hospice and Virginia and Lucy from the Strawberry Line Cafe who attended and told us about the great work their Charities do and what they would use the money for.  A very sobering moment to say the least.

I would like to thank Claverham Village Hall for being such great hosts and continuing to not to charge us,  to Virginia from the Strawberry Line Cafe for preparing the lovely food and to our President Margaret, Chairman Dennis and other Committee Members for working so hard before and on the night (Sharon for working tirelessly to get Raffle Prizes and sorting on the night with Derek's help and Kevin (with Sue) for doing the Skittles Competition).  A special thank you also to Yvonne, Rich, Sandra, Marie and Gavin from the Mixtures for helping set up and clear away the hall afterwards.

Here are some photos from the evening:

Results, Tables & Stats - Done and dusted for another season  -  many thanks to all the hard working Captains and players for making it another superb season.  It was a close finish, with many decisions being made in the last week of games.  Congratulations to this year's League Champions - Unpredictables, Backwell A and Just for Fun.  And to Runners Ups - Dambusters, Blues n Twos and Troublemakers.  To the Teams that got relegated, remember our Chairman's very favourite saying "The beer tastes the same in every division" .    Have a look at the Statistics Page as it summarises the end of season position - click here.

Even though we had some great scores in the away leg of this season's Interleague game against the Weston Mixed League, we could not hang on to the prestigious Top Banana Trophy.  That leaves it two wins each.  Next year we will be at a home alley.  It was a great night.  Thank you to everyone that turned out, especially the players.  £151 was made on the night, which the Weston Mixed League kindly donated their share towards our charity choices as it is our 50th Anniversay.











The Interleague team was:
Ladies - Carmel Wear, Jackie Spearing (Firecrackers), Josie Green, Michelle Williams (Churchill Monkeys), Angela Blair (Just for Fun), Marie Young (Mixtures - Pairs Winner). 
Men - Aaron and Ian Norton (Bits & Pieces), Jer Brooks (Just for Fun), Ian Hawkesby (Firecrackers), Andy Capern (Kingston), Gavin Lane (Mixtures - Pairs Winner). 

Congratulations to Just for Fun for winning the Cup Final at Nailsea & Backwell Rugby Club.  Bits and Pieces were runners up and Redhill Club 3rd.
















Congratulations to Marie Young and Gavin Lane from Mixtures for winning the Pairs Final on Saturday.  They also had the highest score of the competition with 95.  Andy Capern and Nick Carlier from Kingston were Runners Up.  It was a very close final with only 1 pin in it.









Our superb Singles Competition on Friday 10th July at Nailsea Social Club raised a terrific total of £637.45 for our Charities .  A huge thank you to Sharon (Williams) for all the work put in, both on the night and before obtaining great prizes for the raffle.  Many thanks to everyone who helped on the evening too.  A Major thank you to the Nailsea Social Club for being such great hosts.  And of course, many thanks to all that attended.  Congratulations to Aaron Jenkins of Dambusters for winning the competition.  I hope Aaron will join the Interleague Team again this year.  And congratulations to Nick Snook of Bits & Pieces for coming runner up.
