Saint Valentine's Morning at Mijas BC

Fun & Prizes Galore at Mijas BC Saint Valentines Day

Report & photos by John Carr

Social bowling with “spot prizes” thrown in was the order of the day at Mijas BC’s Saint Valentine’s fun morning on February 14^th. Thirty six bowlers decked in Valentine regalia played three matches of six ends, but with lots of distractions, including a lover’s quiz, poker, bingo and the highlight of the day, a singing contest, all of which took place on the green!

To add to the mayhem and to reduce the possibilities of the “usual suspects” carrying off the trophies, the triples were drawn before each game and bowling positions rotated. Ray Nelson, added a steadying influence to the proceedings by keeping the scores.

To complete the enjoyment, participants and spectators attended a spectacular presentation roast buffet lunch at the Kontiki restaurant, Los Boliches, organised by Rob & Geraldine Robinson. The multitude of prizes were presented by event organiser, John Carr, ably assisted by Doris Mellor. On accepting their prizes, “The Mijas Belles”, Geraldine Robinson, Christine Sims, Val Thornton, Carol Jacobs, Edna Porter and Christine Wilson, gave a rousing rendition of “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean”, the number that won them the singing contest, (bravely judged by barman for the morning, Kevin Bloe).

Special prizes went to fancy dress winners, Angela John and Bob Jacobs and match winners, Tony Porter, Shirley Bic and Bill Smith.

Mijas BC, Club President, Phillip Parnell, wound up a successful occasion by thanking participants and organisers.
