June
Local
trips during the month included Evesham Country park, which comprises a farm
park, a shopping complex, among other things, and a narrow gauge railway, which
we rode on. We also went to Broadway to
see St Eadburgha’s church – see our separate
report.
A busy
month for Roger at the bowls club. He
played in quite a few matches – mainly those for Seniors arranged in the
day-time – and also entered several events in the club competition: by the end of the month he had been knocked
out of three of these and was surviving in two.
He also had a busy week doing bar duty – an obligatory roster for men
members.
On 20 June, he was invited to join the Overbury team for an inter-club
triples tournament in Pershore: playing
with two very strong players, he was surprised and delighted to get to the
final, in which they narrowly won the trophy for Overbury. Further success came later in the week when
Roger and Teresa teamed up with another couple to win the bowls club Quiz
Night.
Jay was busy at school, with the end-of-year exams dominating, including
two GCSEs which they are taking early (French and German). On the music front, her violin teacher had
arranged a master class for most of her pupils with a London professor, which
went reasonably well on the day, while her Saturday morning orchestra played in
the Cheltenham Town Hall as part of the annual county music showcase.
