It's a wrap - 2011

That's it for the year folks. What a year! Almost no summer to speak of, very moderate. Thanks for your support once again. I hope that most of you will enter again in 2012 even though it is Olympic year.

Thanks to all of those who now call me 'Eric', as the Gazette implied! I'm sure Eric, our Chairman at Rosedale, was REALLY pleased with the photo.

Just to say that the report in the paper was heavily edited and the most notable news concerning the finals was the magnificent four-timer run up by Dave Parrott and Elaine Putnam. Both bowlers have now run up a title in each of the last four years. Well done to the pair of you. Any side bets between the two of you as to making it five?

That's all then for 2011, I'm off to fulfill my last duty which is to write a report to our sponsors.

Thank you to everyone who has asked after my wife, Gerry. Thirteen weeks in hospital isn't funny, besides the op, which is due on October 3rd.

Keep well, winter well and stay healthy.

Sincere best wishes to one and all.

Dennis
