Somerford Keynes Bowls Club
This short-mat club meets on Thursday evenings for informal games, and is part of the County
Winter league. League matches are often held on Sunday afternoons. At present we have a few
vacancies, though the numbers are limited, so that everyone has a reasonable time to play on club
evenings. All ages are welcome. If you know nothing about bowls or are already a good player, we
would like you to come and join us. Please phone our chairman, Des Sheen on 860469.
Bridge Clubs
There are two bridge clubs that are quite different. Tuesday Bridge is a friendly affair where you can
learn the basics of duplicate bridge, and is a good starting place if you have recently learnt bridge or
if you just want a friendly evening without the other team breathing down your neck about the rules.
Tuesday Bridge is short of players, so we welcome new players of any standard. We meet in the
village hall at 7.15pm and finish before 10pm. There is no membership fee and only £1 per person
per evening. Contact is Muriel Watkins 861614.
Wednesday Bridge is a more formal affair, and you need to be reasonably competent, but don’t
worry if you are not an expert. You will not get eaten. There is the opportunity to play in simultaneous
EBU events and earn points, but no pressure for you to do so. There is a membership fee and a
small charge per evening. Contact Mary Harris 861222. Village Hall 7.15pm to 10.30pm Website
Upholstery contact Diana Sleeman
Wine Society contact Donald Stewart 869231
The Society’s last meeting was on Friday 10th February 2012 in Somerford Keynes Village Hall,
when Darren Brogden of Vincisive gave a tasting tour of “Boutique South African Wines”.
