Peter Davies Wins Local Bowls Championship

It was mainly sunshine this afternoon and a brief rain shower was followed by a beautiful rainbow high in the sky over Fullers and our village.  Three local villagers were in competition.

The match was close at times and despite scoring the most Woody’s of the afternoon, Peter Davies (in main photo) had accumulated the most points over the last 14 weeks with 226 and at 3pm was declared the overall Winner of their championship.Christmas GarlandThe title of the most Woody’s overall could have been declared before the match began as Steve ‘Slick’ Kylie was so far ahead on this count!

Steve won this afternoon’s match but overall had accumulated 217 points and he received the Runner up trophy.Christmas GarlandThere was also a trophy for the one coming in last and the Loser’s trophy went to Mike ‘Slammer’ Steer who managed just 201 points.

With Christmas music playing, they enjoyed a barbecue at half time and a few passer’s by observing the action, they were fortunate with the weather although it was a cold wind.

The 3 winners: Mike, Peter & Steve.

The three now plan to have a week off next weekend and resume playing on Sunday, 10th January 2021.

Fullers Lockdown Bowls Championship On Sunday 27th December

On Sunday, 27th December on the lawn of 13 Fullers in Broadwindsor starting around 11.30am/12noon, there is a very serious competition taking place.

About four months ago, during Lockdown, three residents of Fullers were so bored, they decided to play a game of bowls on a sunny Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a small barbecue of chicken and burgers on one of their lawns.  They so enjoyed their afternoon, they decided to do the same the following week. They have now been playing each Sunday and maintaining the chosen lawn for almost four months, religiously whatever the weather.

The three individuals competing are Mike Steer a.k.a. Slammer, Peter Davies a.k.a. Hartley’s & Steve Kylie a.k.a. Slick. all residents of Fullers.
They are competing for the trophies shown. The one on the left is for the winner.  The one on the right is for the runner-up.  The one in the centre is for the Woody champion.  The Woody trophy will be awarded to the unfortunate individual who hits the blocks of wood in the centre of their lawn (an addition to make it a bit more interesting) the most times.  Trophies will be awarded after play, prior to their barbecue by Web Mistress, Wendy Shields.

Peter Davies assured that “Even if there’s six inches of snow, we’ll clear the lawn and play! It’s a bit of good fun.”

Spectators are welcome 🙂 Their match is expected to last 90-120 minutes.

Broadwindsor Advent Windows Go Live on Tuesday 1st December

We have 24 different windows around the village themed around Christmas carols. Each day at 4pm the carol linked to that day’s window will be played in the Square and then the window will be lit.
Across the month the windows will create an Advent Calendar until all are lit by Christmas Eve. We hope to keep the windows lit until 1st January 2021.

Starting at 22 Yarn Barton on the 1st and ending at our Church on 24th, the full map will be displayed on village noticeboards and at the Community Stores.

“Thank you so much to all the people who have joined in with this initiative and been so creative. We wish you all a very happy Advent journey through December.”
