Budleigh Salterton Bowls Club Playing Honiton
​On Saturday 8th March 6 players from Budleigh Bowls Club travelled to Honiton to play a Mixed Triples match.The match was played over 18 Ends and the Budleigh teams got off to a flying start on an Indoor Carpet that had been stretched recently and was playing extremely fast. After 11 Ends the Budleigh trio of Tony Mackness, Jackey Phillips and Andy Skudder were ahead by 10 shots at 15:5. However, over the final 7 Ends, the Honiton team, led by Judith Broom, amassed 15 Shots, with Budleigh gaining just 2. This gave Judith's team a win of 20:17.

On the adjoining Rink the Budleigh trio of Melissa Camp, John Sheppard and Ann Vincent were proving to be a strong team and after 9 Ends were losing by just 2 shots at 5:7. The Honiton team then found their form and went on to secure 15 shots over the final 9 Ends, compared to 5 from Budleigh. This gave the Honiton trio a victory of 22:10  and an overall victory to Honiton of 42:17.
Tony Mackness, the Budleigh Captain, congratulated Judith and her players for their strong performance and looked forward to the return game.

Budleigh Salterton Bowls Club Feb Quiz Winners
So the pesky Peskies (minus Evelyn) regained the prestigious trophy last night in a closely fought battle with The Other Team. The questions confounded many, as the difficulty level had been increased by the evil Quizmaster and the high scores of previous quizzes were sadly unattainable.
Again, there were internal disputes within the teams about the answers, to be brought up at some future date no doubt, but all were friends at the end of the night.

Budleigh Salterton Bowls Club Friendly Match With Exonia
An enjoyable afternoon, welcoming the Exonia ladies to Budleigh. But sadly the result wasn’t in our favour. 
Ann, Melissa and Marilyn had a strong start on rink 1, it was level pegging at the half way stage. A few big wins put paid to the brief lead and Exonia finished strongly.
Angela, Gwen and Marilyn on rink 2 were well behind at the half way stage but rallied well to lead going into the last end, a good 3 from the Exonia ladies meant the final score went their way.
Congratulations to Exonia and well played to our ladies!!

​A very enjoyable afternoon and thank you Chardstock for coming all that way. Unfortunately you met a couple of Budleigh teams who were on form on the day and the result was a win for the home team 51-20. 
I’m sure they will get their revenge when we meet them on their home ground in the summer.

Another full house and a successful quiz and fish and chip event last night. But there was drama at the end when the scores were totted up, as neither of the two previous winners were able to retain their previous top form and the worthy winners were Anne, John, Tim and Sue, pictured above with the quizmaster John, and Tony Mackness. Well done.
Thanks to John for the quiz and the other volunteers who helped make this such an enjoyable event.

​Today we visited Sidmouth for an enjoyable friendly match. On rink 1 the match was close until nearly halfway when a big win on one end meant the Budleigh players were playing catch up for the rest of the match. While getting to within 2 points at one stage, Sidmouth kept the lead and finished 5 points ahead. On rink 2 the match was more one-sided with Sidmouth finishing 17 points ahead. Better luck next time Budleigh!

Budleigh Salterton Bowls Club Annual Masonic Visit
We hosted a Mixed Triples match against a team of six local Masonic bowlers on Saturday 19th October. The Masonic bowlers belong to a variety of Clubs and come together as a team to play against local Clubs. Their visit to Budleigh is an annual event, and this year was played over 16 Ends.

The Budleigh squad was led by John Sheppard and at the halfway point John and his team on Rink 2, Nic Jones and Gwen Hurst, were holding a narrow lead of 6 shots to 4. In the second half the masonic bowlers fought back and the result was a draw 12:12.
Meanwhile on Rink 1 the Budleigh trio of Jackey Phillips, Ann Vincent and John Dill held a lead throughout their game and secured a victory of 18:8. This gave Budleigh an overall win of 30:20.
After the match the teams gathered for a well-earned tea and John Sheppard commented "These social games are at the heart of the Club and it was a pleasure to host such a friendly group of players. We look forward to playing them again when we move to the outdoor green in 2025".
