Some of the best times are often steeped in tradition and an event that we keenly look forward to is an annual cup competition played against our friends from Durham.
Today we hosted the return part of this two leg match and are proud to retain the "The Cooledge Cup".
There were some very competitive and enjoyable games, even though it was extremely warm towards the end of the afternoon, but a convincing result of 42 points to 32 points was the final result.
We all enjoyed a delicious buffet at lunchtime courtesy of Louise and special thanks go out Robert Mumford for his organisation of the event and our club members who helped host the day.
All in all a super days bowling with our Durham friends, we wish them well and look forward to keeping the tradition going .. 👫

With the local Winter league behind us and the Summer one still to commence spring provides an ideal time to play our in-house competitions.

Starting with our Pairs Presidents Cup this was a closely contested event with Sue & Stuart Parton triumphant and overall winners (left photo).

The second competition was a "seize the day" charity one, in memory of a very dear friend of the club" with Jean Jones & Robert Mumford very much seizing the win and victorious on the day (right photo).

Determined to offer a good mix of Social bowling and Competitive play Knaresborough Short Mat currently offers openings to new members .. please contact us for a free trial if you are interested.

What a fun time we had at our Halloween bowling event today. Dressing up was optional but all joined in.
We had a most competitive afternoon and at the break enjoyed lovely cakes and savouries with our tea.
Margaret Walker won the best dressed bowler and received a bottle of wine donated by Alan and Vera ... this was presented by our President Erica.
Last, but certainly not least, we raised a further £116 towards our chosen charity this year, which is Martin House Childrens Hospice ... 😇
A huge thanks to all for a wonderful afternoon.

Friday 15th Dec saw a good number of our members don their Christmas Jumpers and enjoy a fun bowling session alongside a tasty Christmas buffet.

All of our usual fees for the day were donated to our President Judy's chosen charity and £96 will soon be with Birk Crag Centre, which is a training, activity and residential centre owned by the North Yorks Girl guiding.

There was certainly no shortage of competitive bowling but equally played with festive spirit and amongst good friends .. 👫 👫 👫

With KSMBC members in seasonal good spirit 👻 our Halloween themed afternoon proved to be a great mix of competition and fun.
Somehow, we managed to fit a regular bowling session, two spooky quizzes, and three very testing bowls challenges into the event whilst still taking time to socialise over savouries and cakes 😊.
Congratulations to Erica for winning best costume🧙‍♀️ .. Madeline as quiz queen 🤓 .. and many thanks to Sue & Stuart for making the day a huge success 👏👏.

On one of the hottest days, of the year so far, our Pairs teams kept their cool as we battled out the second of our inter club tournaments.
Keeping to our recent Husband & Wife winning theme it was the pairing of Sue & Stuart Parton who rose to the top, holding off a concerted push from Jean Jones and Robert Mumford, our eventual runners up.
Congratulations Sue & Stuart on a fine result 🏆 and also many thanks to Stuart for his organisational skills on the day .. 👏 👏
