Annual Skittles Evening 2001 - 2010
As we have just completed a decade of this enjoyable event and as I am about the only one who has attended every evening (except the hard-working organizers Lew and Pat Gammon) I've been asked by our chairman to write a brief 'history' of the event.
The first six venues were at the Gardeners Arms in Tackley. However the standard of food and service began to deteriorate so Lew and Pat decided to relocate the short distance to Sturdy's Castle on the main Banbury Road where we have remained quite happily for the past four years.
From the outset it quickly became a popular fixture in the OFS calendar and over the years has brought a great deal of pleasure to so many of our members.
Modesty forbids me to say who has captained the winning team on most occasions but just take a look at the photo!

On behalf of all of the membership it is congratulations and thanks to Lew and Pat for all their efforts, we are looking forward to the next decade.
