BOULES 2012

As some light relief to the serious side of Rotary we spent an evening practicing on the boule rinks  at the George pub in Meopham in readiness for our next visit to our French friends in our contact club of Cosne Sancerre.

Once again the intrepid golfers of the Rotary Club of Gravesend travelled the breadth of Kent to the annual challenge of Hythe Rotary Club’s charity golf tournament.

Unfortunately it didn’t bode from the start since sickness had robbed us of Simon, our Captain and golfing guru (- that is what you told me to write isn’t it Simon?).

The warm welcome we received at Etchinghill Golf Club was not however matched by the appalling weather where 18mm of rain fell and that was interspersed with hailstone and thunder and lightning. This is obviously the reason why our magnificent golfers missed making a clean sweep of all the prizes i.e. we made a clean sweep of missing ALL the prizes and that even included the raffle.

Neither the cruel traps of the Etchinghill golf course nor the inclement weather failed to dampen the spirits of the hardy souls of our golfing group. After our efforts on the course, a shower and a hot meal revived us and soon TJ, Eamonn, Chris (Wraight), Adrian, John (Baker) and myself (John Dyke) were recounting the exploits of the day over a glass of red wine ... and thinking of our next challenge.
