Cycle rides

The ride on 7th August was from Alton to Odiham.  It went really well - despite the damp conditions!  John, Jan, Hilary, Ken, Steve & Angela enjoyed a good lunch at The Water Witch before heading back home.

The ride on Mon 4th September might well head up to Four Marks and then back through Farringdon, East Worldham, Wyck - with possibly lunch at the Hen & Chicken. Details to be decided nearer the time.  So far the group for that is; John, Jan, Steve, Angela, Hilary, Ken, John Hubbard, Trevor and Hugh.

There will be no KIT in August.  The next one will be on Sept 11th and it will be hopefully involve all of the Summer Vets' squad with a celebratory meal afterwards for what we hope will have been a very successful season.

In the meantime though we will have 2 cycle rides - one on Monday 7th August and one on Monday 4th September.  The routes have still to be decided but they will both definitely include a pub lunch!

In other news!

Meanwhile in the summer Vets' league (division 2), Alton are top at the 1/2 way point!

Cycle ride + date of next KIT

Our monthly cycle ride for June saw six of us go on a 20 mile circuit today - up to the Golden Pot and across to Long Sutton, Well, Bentley, Lower Froyle  and then to Upper Froyle and lunch in The Hen & Chicken. Lunch was great and then it was only a short cycle back to Holybourne, Alton and home.  John (Hayman) took this photo of the rest of us:

 

The next KIT will be on Mon 17th July.  It will start at 9:15, rather than the usual time of 9:30 and will involve:

John Hayman, Tony Cox, Ken and Tim + Jan, Gill, Hilary and Gaynor

May 8th 2017 winners

The competitors today were:

 John, Keith, Ken and Tim + Gill, Kate, Jan and Rosie.

After the round robin matches, Ken and  Keith were level on both points and count back so they had to toss a coin to see who played in the final.

The final ended up being between John & Gill and Ken & Kate.  The final score doesn't reflect how close the games were, with Ken & Kate winning  6-1.

Winners - Ken & Kate

April 3rd 2017 winners + Vet's shared lunch

This KIT was planned to coincide with the end of the winter Vet's season and to say "thank you" to Sue Hubbard for being the captain and organising us all so well. Unfortunately Keith couldn't make it but Frank stepped in as a last minute replacement.  
The players on the day were:
John, Don, Frank, Ken, Jan, Gill, Hilary + Sue herself.
It was a beautiful sunny morning and it ended up with a final contested between John & Gill and Ken & Jan, which John & Gill won by 6-2..

Winners - Gill & John

Afterwards we all stayed on, in true Vet's style, for a shared lunch.  It was lovely that Alison, Tim and John Hubbard were also able to join us for the lunch.  Congratulations to Hilary, who was awarded a prize for having won the highest percentage of her matches throughout the season!
Here is a selection of photos from the lunch we had afterwards.
