Saturday’s Muriel Cain Memorial Round Robin brought members together for a warm and lively afternoon of triples bowling, celebrating Muriel’s lasting impact on the club and raising £155 for the MSPCA.
The event was played as a triple’s competition, and the winners — by a comfortable margin — were Colin Brown, Win Collister, and Dee Lewis.
Special thanks go to Muriel’s cousins for attending, providing prizes for the winning team, and presenting the trophy. The Committee would also like to thank all members for taking part and for their generous donations, which will go towards supporting the charity in Muriel’s memory.
