Well here I am again - your intrepid reporter - with all the latest news from the bowling tour.
Our first couple of days in Benalmadena have been perfect. The weather is fab, the hotel is great and the choice of food is amazing. Many of our members are making the most of the all hope inclusive drinks (hic!).
Bowling
We met in the bar -where else? - to do the selection for our first match at Mijas Bowls Club After a bit of kerfuffle with John's high-tech selection process, the teams were chosen for the following day.
As the day dawned, it was clear that something was wrong. A couple of people had gone down with a bug. John set about adjusting the teams accordingly.
The coach arrived. Little did we know that the coach driver did not know the way, and took us to the wrong club! Then there was a stop at a 10 pin bowling alley..... 😳😳. When we eventually arrived, there was a long walk in hot sunshine to get to the green.
As another of our group succumbed to the lergy, the match started.
Pam took photos and made sure that the donkey-on-a-stick indicated which rink was losing.
The results
The winning team consisted of Mike Nickson and Mike Bass, with a 'ringer' from the home side.

Sporting their loser donkey ears for the evening were John W with Doreen and Elaine.
The bug
We are hoping that the handful of people who have been ill recover soon.
Everyone else seems to be benefitting from pickling themselves to defend against the bug. We love all-inclusive!
Here are few pics from members of the tour:
Looks great fun stay well all of you. Steve's home today after his shoulder op went well but took us 4 hours to get him home due to m5 closure it was awful. Good luck all x
Having a great time but unfortunately I’m wearing the donkey ears tonight 😱 xx
