Comments from Mary Oughton who has run the skittles for many years

It was a very good and enjoyable evening with almost 40 members attending. The winner was Kirby Muxloe WI I have run the skittles for over 20 years but this was my last one. How could it get any better when the winner was the WI to which I belong! I had never seen them play before, but they were very good and I wish them well next year.

I also hope that someone will volunteer to run the skittles in the future."
