The enjoyable dinner was followed by our president Gerald Wilson presenting the various awards for winners and runners up of the 2025 club competitions (these were listed in an earlier post after finals weekend). Gerald, who retires as president after 9 years in post, was voted by the members as the Olney Bowling Club “Club Person of the Year” 2025 for his outstanding support to the Club and was presented with the trophy.

We all appreciated the live guitar music for us to listen and dance to during the evening, provided by Phil Short.

Well done to all those receiving trophies and thank you to Bob Constant for taking photos of the awards being presented and the other members involved in organising the evening and making it a sucess.
