	100 Club The May 100 Club draw was carried out at The Kings Head in Watton and this month’s winners were:- Stephen Shurety [resident of Toppesfield, Essex] & Anne Richardson [Warner] – [resident of Horning] Cheques, in the sum of £55.00 each, have been dispatched. Steve and I were joined this month by Jon Tolley and Beverley Sennett [Millard] with her husband Richard. Beverley carried out the draw for us. The Kings Head was a welcoming hostelry, recently refurbished to a high standard. They had a good selection of Greene King ales on offer [Abbot, IPA & Old Speckled Hen]. A score of 9.5 would be appropriate because a long closed pub has come back into use, especially when you hear of so many others closing. The JUNE STAR draw is to be held at Old Wymondhamiams Golf Day at Sprowston Hall on Friday 7th July 2017. The prizes are £500, £200 & £75. Steve and I will be joining the throng during late afternoon for evening supper. This is always well attended but don't forget to let Bob Rowell (bob.e.rowell@outlook.com) know if you would like to attend the Golf or dinner [or both] as numbers will need confirming shortly. Hope to see some of you there. Best Regards, Phil Robinson OW 100 Club administrator - Philrobinson55@btinternet.com
