The subject of our March meeting was relevant to every one of us. Rebecca Spillane from Leicestershire Police talked to us about ‘How to detect and avoid fraud’. The scale of fraud is huge, yet only about 5% is reported. Part of Rebecca’s role is to raise awareness, encouraging us to talk to other people about what we have learned, and our own experiences. She said she could talk about this endlessly, but as she wasn’t wearing a watch we should give her a shout if she overran her allotted time! 

The Club’s indoor carpet bowls’ season has ended with two enjoyable competitions taking place. Eight pairs competed for the Burbery/Hollingsworth Trophy. There were some exciting matches with very close scores. The well deserved winners were Steve Greenwood and Mick Flood (see photo) with runners-up Les Bent and Doug Lander.

The Leicestershire Summer League matches will be starting after the Easter Holidays for both children and adults. There are four men’s teams, three ladies teams, three mixed teams and five mini/junior teams taking part. The adults are currently having their weekly matchplay sessions and the children have their weekly tennis coaching sessions along with the Team Tennis events to get ready for the new season. Let’s hope it is a successful season for the club!
