Phear Park sent a team to play in the Victory Cup at Budleigh, with the best visiting team coming from Ottery St Mary but the best overall score was recorded by one of the local Budleigh Teams.

In the Phear Park Trophy Competition, organised by John Robins in honour of his partner Marg Locke, the day started with a Spider Competition. The proceeds from this event, along with the proceeds of the draw, made up a £50 donation, which will be sent to the local Alzheimer’s Society.

It was then a new event where pairs of bowlers are drawn to play each other using their club handicaps where applicable. The winning pair is the one with the best points difference after one pair scores 18 points or up to 22, including a maximum handicap of 4. If you think this sounds complicated you would be absolutely right, but the eventual winners were Bobbie Vanstone and Simon Weclawek .
