HOT SHOTS CLUB | MAY 2023
We have another bumper issue of successful applicants which includes a second silver badge for Mick Gault OBE who we featured previously winning his first hot shot. Mick represented England at six Commonwealth Games in various shooting events winning an incredible 18 medals – nine of which were gold! Mick’s Commonwealth achievement is a record for athletes in any sport.
Belfast IBC member John McIlwrath celebrated his 80th birthday by gaining a hot shot with Maurice McKeown, while Peter Leaton, who had an eight in a match at Stamford IBC with Jeff Pitt, is 83!
Other winners include Bob Henstridge a former Disability Bowls England ambassador for Sussex who played for DBE in 2015 and 2016. For the last three years, he has played with a bowling arm.
Tye Green’s T Rowland, M Jones, C Carey and B Morgan were high scorers in their hot shot winning match claiming a six, seven and an eight, while at Banister Park BC, Joanna Jones’s first ever hot shot with Jenny Phillps and Pauline Mathews was made even sweeter she says because it was against of all people her husband!
Meanwhile, at Exonia BC, a full house on one end for Sandra Al-Kordi and Lynda Henning played a big part in Lynda winning the trophy for the leading lady at the end of the season.
The Bowls International Hot Shots Club is as popular as ever and famous throughout the bowls playing world.
It was launched more than 20 years ago to reward players achieving a maximum score on one end of a competitive match and remains as popular as ever.
Certificates recognising the feat and signed by 15 times world champion Tony Allcock OBE take pride of place in the clubs and homes of bowlers all over the globe.
Different coloured bowls stickers are also available to highlight the achievement of becoming a member of the world’s largest and most exclusive bowls club.
Apart from having your names recognised in print and featured on our websitewww.bowlsinternational.com, why not send in a picture as well of the successful pair, triple or four, along with some interesting and relevant details about your claim.
You can provide a few details on the entry form that is featured in this supplement and email your photos to hotshots@bowlsinternational.com
