Forget the other pages: these are the really important people at the Forth!

Let's hear it for the ladies,
The mistresses of cuisine,
Who feed us square, then beat us fair- on
An English bowling green.

"The Bowler's Song"

The Ladies Who Cater: Evelyn, Gail and Margaret

and the bridge from the Wooler BC crest

These talented ladies are well known for their legendary baking skills.

Not only do they keep the Forth well fed on festive occasions (the buffet picture on the left shows only half the table, by the way!), but also provide a plentiful supply of tea and biscuits at a knock-down price of 20p a time (proceeds to Club funds) on match days.

The ladies are not above waltzing round with the vacuum cleaner either, when they have a spare moment.

Gail is famous for her cake-icing skills: the picture on the left is of a cake she iced to be raffled at a friendly game with Wooler Bowling Club. She is a real artist with the icing sugar; it's a shame that all her creations end up being eaten! Very nice they are too!

Margaret is a retired nurse and her medical knowledge is invaluable to the Club. Bless her cotton socks, she regularly dons her "marigolds" and cleans the 'loos. Good on yer, Margaret!

Both Evelyn and Margaret are bowlers of some repute.

(Evelyn is married to George (our "Mr Fixit") and Gail to Trevor (our resident bowling-rules expert). )

Sorry Margaret

The Club members have admonished the webmaster (and rightly so!) for not mentioning Margaret's superb ham and egg pies and her famous apple pies, which cause serious mouth-watering all over the Whitley Bay area.

I am very sorry for the omission, Margaret. Please keep-on baking!
