Pavilion v Preston IBC
Grattons * Egerton Park
On Wednesday 7 December 2016 Pavilion hosted a side from Preston IBC Brighton for the annual return leg, following our friendly match at th Brighton on Saturday 8 October 2016 that resulted in a draw 154-154. Being a competitive club Preston fielded a strong side and whilst Pavilion did have the edge throughout the match Preston were always within touching distance and actually held the lead for a short-while in the home straight. Pavilion regained the lead quickly and had to dig deep whilst keeping an eye on the aggregate score-board to win the match 117-105 taking three rinks to Preston’s two, with one rink shared. An extremely competitive match played in good spirit and enjoyed by all. Pavilion top rink went to Mervyn Hilton, Terry Hallard, Alan Cheeseman and Anthony Powell. In his post meal address the visitors’ captain expressed how important friendly matches were to ensuring that clubs remained healthy and viable for the future.
Editor A Question of Law I was watching a club championship pairs match recently where the scores were level at the conclusion of the twenty-one ends. There then arose some uncertainty as to the procedure in

Open Singles Circuit A repeat of the Open Singles Circuit will be held at Pavilion on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th January 2017. I am pleased to say things are well on track as I now have forty-eight entries for the £1,000 first prize which means there are only sixteen spaces left for Saturday, which I cannot reserve for members. THAT MEANS IF MEMBERS WANT TO ENTER PLEASE DO SO NOW TO AVOID ANY DISSAPOINTMENT. Remember there is a £50.00 prize for the last member standing sponsored by IAN HART. I would be happy to refund entry fees should there be a legitimate reason for withdrawal so there are no excuses not to enter. On Saturday and Sunday at 10.00am I would appreciate the usual six markers making themselves available, so would appreciate you placing your names in my pigeon hole. It should only be one session as the losers should then take over. Some of the best bowlers in the south will be attending as well as others from Norfolk and Suffolk, so it should be a very interesting weekend. All members are welcome as spectators, with the kitchen and bar being open all day. Hope to see you all there.
Warwick Davis A Word from Secretary Celebrating in 2017??? If you are celebrating a special event, birthday, anniversary or just want a party. Why not consider booking the club lounge and facilities for your special event. See me for details

Touring Club AGM Pavilion Tourists are hereby informed that the AGM of the touring club will be held in the lounge at Pavilion at 7pm on th Wednesday 15 February 2017. Final arrangements for the forthcoming Bembridge trip will be discussed at the meeting and ferry passes distributed to those members travelling to IOW. If you have not already done so, please settle any outstanding monies for the IOW trip to Don Elliot by mid-January 2017 at the latest! The list for the summer tour to Salisbury will be put on the notice board early January, so keep an eye open as it will be on a first come first served basis. I have reserved thirty rooms at the Milford Hall Hotel and may be to secure another couple of reservations if the demand is there, but cannot promise anything. We will also have a brainstorming session looking for possible venues for tours in 2018.

Forged Five Pound Notes Despite the Bank of England introducing a number of features to counteract fraudulent copies of the new polymer five pound notes, they are warning people to remain vigilant and check their notes as there has been a surprising influx of forged notes. Some simple steps can be taken to spot these forgeries e.g.
Check the see-through window and that the portrait of the Queen is correct. Look at the Elizabeth tower to check it is gold on the front of the note and silver on the back Check the foil patches
On paper banknotes, feel for raised print across the words 'Bank of England' Also on paper notes hold it up to the light to check the watermark and look for the metallic thread running through every genuine paper note. More information is readily available at www.fakenotes.co.uk
Editor A New Take on Phishing Lloyds customers should be on the lookout for a new sophisticated fraud that involves fraudsters sending fake bank letters. The convincing letters being sent are a replica template from Lloyds and include their logo, address and signature from a customer service representative. The letter tells recipients that there have been some “unusual transactions” on their personal account and asks them to call a number highlighted in bold to confirm they are genuine. When victims call the number, an automated welcome message is played and the caller is asked to enter their card number, account number and sort code followed by their date of birth. Victims are then instructed to enter the first and last digit of their security number. The fraud was spotted by the Daily Telegraph who was alerted to it by a reader who had three identical letters sent to an office address. On separate occasions the Daily Telegraph ran some tests using fake details and were passed to fraudsters who claimed to be

PAVILION POST from a Lloyds contact centre. The bank has confirmed that the phone number and letters are fake. The letters are essentially a sophisticated phishing attempt and serves as a warning to consumers to question written correspondence from their banks. If you are ever suspicious about correspondence from your bank you should call the customer serviced number on the back of their card.

Malcolm Gilbey Social Scene As it Happened Jazz Night Proves a Hit with Members The inaugural Jazz Nite at Pavilion on rd 23 November turned out to be a big success as jazz sextet ‘DrJazz’ entertained fifty plus club members and their guests with familiar scores that were hits in recent years; well maybe not quite so recent, including the likes of Frank Sinatra’s Fly me to the Moon, Astrud Gilberto’s The Girl from Ipanema, along with Misty, Summertime, Fever and much more. The Sextet comprised of two female vocalists, keyboard, double bass (yes that’s the big one) saxophone (clarinet ) an electronic digitalised wind instrument that produced varying instrumental sounds e.g. tenor/ alto saxophone, oboe etc., There was a fifteen minute break half way through the entertainment for light refreshment then it was back for more music. The evening came to a close all too soon, with the band performing Water melon man, to huge applause. Social Director Keith Leather was on hand ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Everyone that I spoke to afterwards, said that they had thoroughly enjoyed the evening. A big thank you to the social committee who work earnestly to promote a variety
of social functions for members’ benefit. They certainly struck the right chord here. A calendar of planned social events for 2017 can be found in the December newsletter.
Editor Christmas Dinner Dance On the 10th of December forty-seven club members and friends enjoyed our annual dinner and dance. Temptations did us proud, with well decorated Christmas tables and an excellent traditional meal. The entertainment was first rate, Kevin Ray played tunes from the sixties, seventies and eighties that we all knew and loved. It was enjoyable to see our captains, Paul and Carol relaxed and enjoying themselves, (Note to self, must learn that western dance for next time) A small raffle was held on the night, resulting in £75 being raised for club funds. A special thank you to Zoe Wright for all her hard work before, during and after the event. It was so pleasing to receive members’ comments that this was the best evening that we had for a long time. Kevin Ray will be returning for our entertainment at the Valentines Dance on 11th February 2017 so I Iook forward to seeing you there.
