The weather was a bit cool, (Bill Donald provided hand warmers for all bowlers) but the sun came-up once in a while to make it very comfortable.

We had a lovely breakfast, Swiss rolls, banana cake, raisin bread, muffins coffee and tea. During the first game Bill Donald made hot chocolate drink and some bowlers served themselves. After the second game all players came in for apple, cherry, and blueberry pie with ice cream. The game ended at 4:15pm, the prizes were given out and everybody left by about 5:15pm. All in all it was a very good day. Looking forward for next year.

Bill and I would like to have a full house (16 teams) next year. Please look up the date in the 2020 Annual and come and enjoy the last open Willowdale tournament on the carpet.

This tournament is played on the artificial green (we call it the carpet). We had 12 teams competing in this tournament. The weather was a very sunny and warm 25°C but it got quite windy in the afternoon and it affected the bowling just a bit. You had to considere the wind direction and it was a bit tricky. Everyone had a good time.
