Ian Payne

Members will be saddened to hear of the passing of Ian Payne
at the end of September.  He was a member of Lenham BC
from 2016 to 2022, but many may have known him from
Ashford Indoor BC, where he was a long-time member.

In 2017, Ian was runner-up in the Club's Open Pairs
competition (with Alan Morton) and then won the same
competition in 2021 (with Lydia Munn).  In 2019 he was
runner-up in the Men's Yardstick competition.

In addition, he was (from 2019-2021) the Men's Section
representative on the Club's Management Committee.

Ian's funeral took place on Friday 25th October at Charing Crematorium.
The wake was held at Ashford Indoor Bowls Club.

Bernard Annand Trophy & Memorial Shield

Having won our BA Trophy 3rd Round match against Folkestone BC, our Semi Final opponents in this invitational men's competition for 'unbadged' players will be Thanet BC. The match will take place on the morning of Sunday 1st September at Herne Bay BC.  The winners will take on either Wear Bay or Canterbury in the Final in the afternoon.

UPDATE:  We beat Thanet in the morning, but unfortunately lost to a strong Canterbury side in the Final in the afternoon.  But an excellent effort nonetheless.

Unfortunately, we lost to Folkestone Park in Round 1 of the Memorial Shield (open to all men).

Chilmington Cup

Congratulations to Andy Beman on winning this Club competition on Sunday 23rd June.
Andy's winning score was 35 points.  Alan Morton came 2nd with 33 points and Richard Tong was 3rd with 32 points.  Through absolutely no fault of her own (just bad luck), Jan Morrison was the recipient of the wooden spoon.

Members will be pleased to note that the missing names on the list of winners have now been identified (needless to say they were hiding in plain sight) and the list updated (click above on 'Club Comps>Various Others>Chilmington Cup').
