The weather this year was as expected not as hot as last year, but never the less warm and sunnny for the most part of each day, we only bowled in the rain once, this was at the Aphrodite near Limasol. In spite of the date being changed, all the matches I had booked were not affected thank goodness, and all went according to plan.
Everyone enjoyed bowling against other clubs on the island and without exception they made us very welcome and hope to see us all again next year.
The holiday was overshadowed by 2 sad events.
On arrival Val Coldwell said to me, Den I have a bit of a pain in my chest, I lay her down on a settee and asked the staff to call a doctor, suspecting a heart attack, he whipped her off to the clinic, the good news, yes it was a heart attack, but within 10 days of Diagnosis she had an Angiogram and 3 Stents put in, she, it appears was a disaster waiting to happen, when we left Val was hail and hearty waiting with Eric to come home 3 days later.
The first Saturday, late evening Pat Brownlow, who has not been well for some time, callapsed and died instantly on her way to the bathroom, poor John, he was devastated. Everyone rallied round to support him throughout, especially Karin who took him under her wing.
The hotel cannot be faulted they were absolutely great, without a word moved John to another room, they were so concerned for his welfare.
So ended another holiday, If you are interested in organising the future hoildays please contact Denise. Margaret is unable to continue but happy to offer guidance.
England V Scotland
The almost end of season fun game, as ever a great afternoon with loads of laughs, with the usual Piper (John Nicol) marching on the Scotts, Land of Hope & Glory marching on the English.
A great added Attraction the Southport Airshow with the Red Arrows, even if a little distracting.
Great to see our juniors James, Louis & Sam joining in, though they must have thought some of us were mad as Hatters.
