Guide Dog Gala 2015

The Club kicked off their charity galas for the 2015/6 season with the gala in aid of the Guide Dogs for the Blind. A full set of 16 teams, raffle, name the dog and other activities helped to raise over £500 for the charity. A couple of Guide Dog puppies also paid a visit to show people what their effort on the day is all for.

After the first round of games “GDW” led the way with 8 points, one ahead of “3 & Me”, “Yellow Peril”, “Corny A” and “Who Let the Dogs Out”. “Haters say No”, “The Old Dogs” and “Guide Frogs for the Daft” completed the teams that started with a win. Heading into the midway break and an auction of soft drink packs kindly provided by Britvic there was a three way tie for top spot, “Yellow Peril”, “3 & Me” and “The Old Dogs” all on 13 points. “Haters Say No” with 11 points and “GDW” on 10 completed the top five.

Refreshed from the break “Haters Say No” raced into the lead, one point ahead of “3 & Me”. In joint third were “Yellow Peril” and “GDW”, while “The Old Dogs” and “Who Let the Dogs Out” were joint fifth. With the last woods bowled “Yellow Peril” (Bob & Sue Henderson and Mandy & Pat Dahlgren) had retaken the lead, earning the top dog crown with 23 points. “GDW” and “Who Let the Dogs Out” were joint second on 22 points. Fourth place went to “The Old Dogs” and “3 & Me” and “Haters Say No” in joint fifth completed the lead group.
