Hello to Big Len and the rest of the Bristol Rover fans who tune in to the web site on a regular basis. Brizzle summowse is a different lingo.

The election of the committee took place at the AGM, Gerald McArdle resigned the post of Treasurer after many years of good work steering the club on an even keel. I would like to thank Gerald for all his good work that he done and the endless hours that he has also put in behind the bar as well. The new committee is posted on the gents page with Stephen Kerr featuring prominently. You can view the directors on the gents page.

The short carpet season has now ended and the club had a very mixed year. The Ladies were runners up in the first division, the gents vets section were third bottom, the reserves were second bottom and the gents first team finished seventh. The only shining light was winning the Scottish Short Rink team game.

Next will be the outdoor season which will start around the 28th of April but the Veterans section will start on Wednesday the 21st of April.

Well folks thats the 150th year nearly over. The end of year cabaret was a great success and now the club looks forward to the forth coming season. Its been a pleasure to keep you up speed with the various events that took place over the last year. I have posted the the three committees that played a big part in the events of the season. remember that all of the photos of the past year are on the photos page but not for much longer.

This left the second team of John McGrory,  Stephen sleezier than sleeze, Kerr and Mick, clear as mud, McGoldrick with a tremendous advantage which the kept tight to make the scores 21 shots to 8.

The third team of Danny, horrendous, Walton, Davie Smith and Ian, the Tudfather, Tudhope, were unlucky at times against a strong opposition but left the fourth team with a six shot advantage, 27 - 21.
