Open Day is a very informal time to meet and greet before the start
of the bowling season. We are a friendly club and our door is always open to new members, so if you would like to give bowling a try, or freshen up old skills, you will be made very welcome. All you need is a pair of flat shoes, so come along and enjoy the hospitality at Eastnor and maybe make new friends.
On the day, you can have the help of Don our experienced coach, or have a roll up with some of the members. If you want to try something different we shall also have the game of ‘Cornhole’ which is a fun game for all ages.
There will be a BBQ, tombola, cake stall, etc. Tea and coffee will be available, or if you prefer something a little stronger, the Bar will be open.
Club Night is every Friday from 6.30pm during the bowling season. If you require more information contact Pat on 01684 833284 or Rose on 01531 633010 or check out our web site: www. eastnorbowlingclub.co.uk

Militaria has been one of the most popular collecting genres in recent years with online savvy buyers from around the world more than happy to pay top prices for the ‘right’ addition to their collections. Smith’s specialist section within the February antiques sale saw many prices soar way above estimate. Not surprising really - with over seven hundred bidders registered to buy online and over £50,000 worth of commission bids left before the sale even started.
One of the top prices of the day was paid for a Distinguished Flying Medal awarded to a Coastal Command pilot in WWII for his bravery in Spitfire raids on German shipping. The lot also included a quantity of interesting photo-graphs and ephemera, including letters to his parents describing some of his operations, and notably his pride at being awarded the DFM.
Unfortunately, his bravery may have got him into trouble when he died the following year whilst test flying a Mosquito near Alconbury. Records of the accident noted that he carried out a series of very steep turns which over stressed the lightweight
wooden framed aircraft and it crashed to the ground and caught fire. It was suggested that the exaggerated maneuvers were not strictly necessary for the relevant air test!
The medal (which featured on the front of the catalogue) was consigned for sale by the pilot’s daughter and estimated at £1200 to £1800. On the sale day it was finally contested by a keen local collector bidding on the phone and an online bidder - who eventually secured it at £2,200.
Smith’s next sale is on the 15th May and entries are invited on the 7th, 9th, 14th & 16th April 10am-3pm or by appointment.
