Wanderers and Nomads mark 70th anniversary
Our two eldest teams met at the Bladen Club last night to celebrate Puddletown Wanderers 70th anniversary. Both Puddletown Wanderers and Puddletown Nomads appeared in the 1954-55 league fixture book, and both used the Kings Arms Puddletown as their home alley.
Start time
Please would all captains be reminded of rule 14
Games shall commence between 8.30 p.m. and 8.45 p.m. Any team short of players must commence the game with the players available. If there are no representatives of a team present on the alley by 8.45p.m. that team will be deemed to have cancelled and the match awarded to the opposing team.
History pages
Check out the history pages on the website. This is an ongoing project which will be updated to give you all an insight on the past history of the league. If anyone can help with any missing teams/years or mistakes please contact terry.gosney@btinternet.com , especially any information about league winners from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s as the skittle fixture books only started putting in the previous seasons tables from 1980.

It is the responsibility of both captains to ensure that the stickers up operate in a competent and safe manner at all times. The use of mobile phones, ipads, headphones etc whilst the game is in progress is not permitted.
