New Singing Group

A new singing group will be making its debut on Wed 21st Sept from 10.30am – 12 noon, Walton Village Hall in the Bromage room. 

We will be singing a variety of popular songs from the 20th century bringing back memories of that golden age of musical medley from the 20s right through to Abba in the 70s. The singing will be very light-hearted with no hard practice as we are not a choir. Anyone can sing along with others in a group so why not give it a try.

Due to a cancellation, there are 2 places available on the outing to WELSHPOOL LLANFAIR STEAM RAILWAY and POWIS CASTLE (NATIONAL TRUST) WEDNESDAY AUGUST 17th 2022

David has arranges an day in Mid-Wales, with a delightful ride through beautiful countryside on the charming
Welshpool and Llanfair narrow-gauge steam railway, with the afternoon at the lovely house and
gardens of Powis Castle.

Full details of the outing and booking form will be included in the MAY edition of your Phoenix Newsletter.

Congratulations to Jean who has reached the ripe age of 90 and is an accomplished indoor bowler with Phoenix at Walton VillageHall. Age would appear to be no barrier to this marvellous player and shows that exercise can help and is important to us all

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration

Our Committee members would like your thoughts on our plans to organise an event to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The event would not be held during the official bank holiday weekend, as there will be so much going on. The suggestion is that our celebration should be an Afternoon Tea with entertainment. The date of the event is yet to be decided, but will probably be in mid July, before the School holidays. Your comments & thoughts would be appreciated. The event is dependant on the number of positive responses we receive.

Singles Luncheon

The Singles and Carers Saturday Luncheon Group enjoying their first lunch back since the pandemic started. The numbers were understandably a little depleted as some members would prefer to venture out later in the year, no doubt when everyone is double vaccinated and had the booster. Never-the-less 17 of us enjoyed meeting up again for good food, friendship and a ‘natter’. Jenny Bloor, Group Leader.

Congratulations!

Twenty Six Phoenix Bowlers took part in a Drawn Doubles Competition on Monday 6th.Sept. and the concluding Semi & Final on Monday 13th.Sept.. 2021 at Riverway Bowling Green.

The Winners were:

Pam Ewan and Barbara Jackson – Trophy presented by Frank James (photo attached)

and the Runners up:

Ian Pattyson and Martin Smith.

It was a well attended competition and a closely contested final

Thanks to all who supported this event a fitting end to the Bowling Season during these difficult times

We look forward to another Bowling Season in 2022, when hopefully there will be full fixtures for that Season.

Best wishes

Anne Mace

Phoenix Match Secretary

CONGRATULATIONS to the Drawn Doubles Winners
