My mum is famous....in Wellington

Skittles success!

My mum is a famous skittler in our home town of Wellington, Somerset. This story is from the Wellington Weekly News, though I doubt the authenticity of the last sentence!

SUE RETAINS LEAGUE TITLE WITH SOMETHING TO SPARE
18:00 - 24 May 2006
With the biggest turnout for many years, the Wellington Ladies' Skittles League presentation evening last Friday was a great success.

With 17 out of the 20 teams playing for the highest average cup, no one disgraced themselves, with the scores ranging from 40 to 67.

Sue Grabham of the Water Babies pulled out all the stops and scored an impressive 67, which included spares of 13, 14 and 16 to take the cup for the second year running, beating her previous score by 11 pins.

Yearly trophies and perpetuals were presented by Alf Binding, the league's president.

Celebrations continued late into the evening.
