Match Report - 01 Aug 2024, RHP (Chelmsford) Sports & Social Club Club Friendly lost to Lionmede
The match at Lionmede was an unusual day, but everyone got on very well with each other.
Unfortunately Gillian Withams who played as number one in the Lionmede team playing on our rink after 5 ends became very unwell, close to collapse with heat stroke, which if we had not taken her off may have had a stroke , and started semi conculsing, and due to us using cold cloths coiled around her head, and neck and me talking to her with encouragement (whilst Gill Hollick) another bowls friend phoned for an ambulance and me and other friends bringing her back from passing out.talking to her with breathing exercises , she gradually recovered .
Another bowls friend Roger went to pick up her husband Dave Withams, and on his return co incided with the Ambulance crew an hour after the event.
As it was she didn't go to hospital as she had refused to go.
As she was being dealt with we after tea break decided to do continue with another substitute who had arrived until we had completed 12 ends.
So it was an unusual day of worry but eventful too.
Paul Watts , Captain and his wife Gina were running the event.
