Best bit was watching you eat celery! Great evening and well done to the winner Lord Lucky Lucky Den!

The various techniques used to knock over those infuriating skittles were a joy to behold. From blistering speed to flat cap and pipe Sunday driver . The highlight had to be the display of superior skill which enabled the individual to thread the ball between the skittles. It would appear to be an impossible task but to do it twice in successive balls is a wonder and the silence which descended on the room as the third ball trundled down the alley was almost as deafening as the Coasters tucking in to their food . However it was asking too much as Three skittles toppled over, blown over by the slipstream from the passing ball (or it may have been from the release of pent up breath from the spellbound watchers). Of course I refer to that bowling wizard Troy - we are unworthy
As for the winner, well what can I say. We had an initial playoff between Paul Parslow and Jane, which Paul in true ungentlemanly fashion came out on top (I wonder if I should edit that last bit ), only to find that there had been a error in counting and that Lucky Den had actually won by a landslide 1 point.
(I am not going to embarrass the person who did the counting by actually naming him, but for those going to the Xmas supper at Charlie Browns I advise that they check their bill carefully )

A great evening, thanks Ken for arranging it.

Thanks to you all for turning up and getting into the spirit of it all

I feel sure that if Skittles becomes an Olympic sport we'll all be sought out by the selectors to try out for the British Team

Big THANKS to Ken for sorting it all out to us ..... well done that man !!!!

Well folks, wasn't it a fun evening.
Thanks for all the comments, they are greatly appreciated, I'm just very glad you all turned up to play! I'm fed up with playing with myself
There was some evidence of very severe built up agression being vented last night. Those skittle were taking a hammering.

See you all soon.
Ken

You're just flattering me Bob
Actually the third and last ball only managed to knock down two skittles..I was more than a bit concerned about missing everything with the three balls.

[Paul & Jax]

A big thanks to Ken for organising the evening.

Great to catch up with peeps and talk bollox

Skittles were good fun, grub was good too

By the way - how does one bowl a ball so slow that it rebounds off the skittle

Great evenings fun. Thanks everybody and especially Ken

Don't forget who it was that counted correctly and the skill to bowl such a slow ball is down to anno domini.
