Wednesday 4th February 2026. Plan B
As the title suggests the Lads put Plan B into action for today’s adventure, their intention was to participate in a leisurely walk in the grounds of Temple Newsam followed by a lunchtime meal at the Station Inn in Crossgates, Leeds. This was put on hold due to unsuitable weather conditions and a rearranged visit to the Ten Pin bowling alley in the Merrion Centre was their chosen alternative.
It was a group of Seven that made it to lane 12 and compete with each other over two games here in the bowling alley. Derek, John and Brian taking on Dave, Glenn and John Howarth, Mark abstaining from bowling duties on this occasion.
These Lads had arranged to meet at around 11:00 am, they commenced their so called tournament at about 11:20. Some two hours later and after much excitement, enthusiasm coupled with jovial banter the final scores were announced, much to the delight of some and dismay for the others. It was team B that took the honours, team A left licking their wounds so to speak.
So it was Derek, John and Brian that held the Trophy aloft, soundly beating Dave, Glenn and John Howarth, Two games to Nil. With a re match taking place at some point in the future.
From the Bowling Alley the group now headed for a lunchtime meal which was consumed at the establishment of Trinity Kitchen, with Pizzas and Burgers etc along with a drink. The Lads eventually saying farewell to each other at about 2:20 pm. and then heading for their homeward journey.
Upon reflection today’s outing was full of thrills and spills and enjoyed by all involved.
Cheers Everyone.
