David Taylor Trophy
The Annual match against the QE Academy once again proved to be a delightful competition. Many thanks to all the members and parents who stood in at short notice. Although we lost on two rinks thanks to great bowling by the pupils we have been coaching the standards this year were exceptional.
On a personal level it was a joy to watch the daughter of a pupil I taught several decades ago displaying her mothers love of sport. Mark presented President Dawn with the Trophy. MBC won 46-29.
Thanks to Jan Cooper and Eleanor for the drinks and biscuits. Again without the backing of the club's coaches the event couldn't work.

Our newest member Oliver after 4 Saturday sessions ran Joe a close second to take the runners up trophy.
