Sunday was a special event as Gemma Gibbons and Sam Ingram both Olympic Siver medallists from the London games came and took 2 sessions. They also posed for pictures and answered questions during their time at Barnwood.
During the training there was an opportunity to spar with them and throw them.

Saturday saw a large group of us pitting our bowling skills against one another. We had 2 games of Killer, which evened out the field nicely such that a lot of the adults were the first to be out.
We also had a very enjoyable ploughmans lunch.
Thanks to Jenna for organising it.
