The Bee's where at home today against Oxshott.
The only information I have is that the Bee's won 6 - 3.
Captains can I have a little more of a report on your games PLEASE.
Marlene our old landlady made a surprise visit to the club this afternoon. She is taking up a pub in the lake district called the White Lion, needs a lot of work done, she is keeping well.
With temperatures well into the high 70's, we had our first meeting with Southampton Pilgrims.
After the triples the score was 1 game all.
Going into the doubles the first game was won by Ian and Jeff, we only needed one more win from the other two games... We lost the first and it was all up to David and Hazel they were well down but then came back into the game just to be pipped at the end 13 - 11.
We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting out in the sun having our sandwiches.
Final score Southampton Pilgrims 3 ~ ABC Wasps 2
Wasps Team Jeff, Ian, Hazel, Christine, Mike and David.
Southampton Pilgrims team Hilary, Richard, Paul, Paul, Gianni, Berni
The Wasps where at home to Shipwrecks, this is the first time they have visited us and they came away clear winners.
Shipwrecks did have a bit of insider information as Beryl and Maureen (ex Vikings) are now playing for the Shipwrecks.
The Shipwrecks won the first two triples, even thou we did make a come back form 8 - 0 down to lose 13 - 11.
We did manage to win one of the doubles but it was quite close with the scores.

Shipwrecks Brian, Joan, Chris, Pam, Beryl and Maureen.
We are at home to Southampton Pilgrims on Saturday stand by for our first win!!
The Bees played host to Crondall Tigers on Thursday night.
It was a close played game with two or three games running out of time
The Bees came out tops with a 6 games to 3. The Tigers must feel really sorry for themselves as the Wasps beat them on Wednesday then the Bees beat them Thursday.
Well done teams
The Wasps travelled to Crondall on a horrible wet and windy evening. With the rain finding all of the little holes in you wet weather gear it was good to get in for sandwiches and chips at the end.
The results.
First round Crondall 3 Wasps 0
Second round Crondall 1 Wasps 2
Third round Wasps 3 Crondall 0.
Final score Wasps 5 Crondall 4
All games where very tight with only 1 or 2 points between all teams
Well done the Wasps, and thank you Crondall for a good evening.
Wasps Team.
Jeff, Bobby, Carolyn, Tony, Paul and Kath.
Dear Gill & all at Kingsclere,
I am sure all our ABC Club members will be sorry to receive your sad tidings. We shall be happy to see you at Kirdford at any time you feel inclined to come this way and have enjoyed playing against you these last few years. Thank you kindly for your gracious remarks about ABC. Please let Jeff Fox, Team Captain or myself as know in advance if possible.
Regards and Bon Chance!!
Ian Fox
Good morning to all in the NDL
I am sorry to have to write this email to you all but unfortunately the time has come for Kingsclere Bugs not only to drop out of the NDL League but to disband as a petanque club, with immediate effect.
I would have preferred to have been able to notify you all of our position before the start of this year's season but we have only just received a very unexpected resignation from a key player and with one other member spending a large proportion of the summer overseas we are down to only seven players. These seven players are all very enthusiastic but when you take into account their ages and health, getting a team together 14 times this year is going to be pretty much unattainable.
We will, just as a group, be getting together on a completely informal basis for a game or two up at the Fieldgate as and when possible.
We have all thoroughly enjoyed playing in the league over the past years and the friendship of everyone we have met, we would hate to lose touch completely.
We played our last match against Kirdford yesterday and had a really lovely afternoon, as we always do when there. I would just like it to be known that their, venue, friendship and hospitality are second to none and we cannot think of a better setting in the UK to enjoy a game of boules. (even though we only won one game - I can still say this!)
We would love to be notified of any SOCIAL games that may be held this year - every effort will be made to attend, even if we have to get an extra player off the street as it were.
Again, please accept our sincere apologies and hope to meet up with you at other events.
Kind regards
Gill Sendall
