Gay: Ok John, listen up. What kind of cravat would a hog be most likely to choose?

Well done to Gay, Dave H & John P for performing as a Vardre Deganwy Triples Team in the indoor bowling winter league 2024/25 at Frith. With Dave H in only his 2nd year playing indoors, and Gay in her 3rd year, with the more experienced John P, they ended the season in a very creditable 5th place.
