Carpet Bowls Day

Plaisterers' Hall One London Wall, 1 London Wall, Barbican, London

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.  This will now take place in September but a date hasn't been set yet. Over the years, a number of very successful Inter-Livery social events have emerged, such as Croquet and Pétanque, but to date there has been no Inter-Livery Carpet Bowls. Our Company recently lost yet another much-loved Member to Prostate Cancer (He was our fourth in just three years.), and this dreadful condition is a similar scourge across the entire City Civic. As a result, the Master has decided that our Company will organise this event in aid of Prostate Cancer Research, and in memory of him and all the other Livery/Guild victims on Saturday, 25th January.  We are all greatly indebted to our friends at The Plaisterers, for so kindly agreeing to sponsor this fundraiser at their fabulous Hall. The format of the day will be very simple: entries cost £49/person and guest players over 11yo are very welcome. Dress is casual (Jeans are fine, but string vests are discouraged!) Our fellow Liveries and Guilds have all been invited to enter one or two teams of four. As organiser, we can field up to four. There will be teas and coffees served throughout the day, plus a (reasonably priced!) cash bar over lunch, offering red and white wine by the glass, plus orange and apple juice. Lunch will be a shared picnic and everyone must bring a contribution of cold food to be shared with others - ideally enough for several servings. (Quiche, pates, flans, salads, cold meats, sandwiches etc, and easy puddings). If you are truly useless at picnics, tell Clare privately and we will buy your contribution for you, for an extra £10 per entrant. (Your shameful secret will be safe with us!) Full joining instructions will be issued in...
